Re: Measures of productivity
For those on the list who were wondering about the URL I posted yesterday in
response to this question, the error was my fault! The correct URL is
http://www.wheaton.edu/bgc/archives/ar/1999/ar99.html.
I should know better than to try typing something as complicated as a URL when I
have a cold! Sorry, folks!
