Hi Dennis

I like your observation notes highly. Just a comment on a word, but with no
big stressing from my side. Just that I'm a little allergic to the word
"anecdotal". It has been used here in Sweden in some circles in a a very
down grading way. So I looked it up in the word book and it has the meaning
at the bottom line of not being true, telling some kind of story that even
might be a fairy tale with some comic tone. I don't thonk you or any other
on this list using it use it in that sense. Just want to share some thoughts on topic of this word. Isn't just the word observation good enough?

Best regards

Erik
