Bill Crews asks " Has there been a systematic study that supports any other statement made on this
list?"

I think in brief the answer is yes.  Very often on this list, when people make assertions, there is discussion of the warrants for them.  And since much of the conversation is about history, the warrants very often are the systematic studies of other scholars.  If you will go through the archives for the list, you will find lots of particular examples.

Well wishes,
Kevin

I didn't intend to start a war over this, much less with the moderator. Has
there been a systematic study that supports any other statement made on this
list? If the standard for future discussions is that every statement has to be
footnoted that's fine but right now this is looking a lot like a personal ax
being ground.
