Re: Database

Dear Luc,

You hit the nail squarely on the head.

But further is the question of the reliability of anyone's data, given that original records have typos or, if handwritten, subject to interpretation. More data means more corroboration, which is good, but old data may be based on what's available at the time, which may not be so good. So, then, who assumes the task of updating and correcting, especially a really massive database?

Regards,
Richard
