That's the problem with trying to cope, in todays world, with advice from the past masters and classic literature.

Even if the advice/information they diseminate is accuate, quite often it wasn't, that was then and this is now. Even if you don't care a whit about "politically correct", scientific information has grown exponentially in just the last few years alone....

...........except in GA.
