Moderator's note:
What Peter Tamas refers to below is a similar discussion held on H-CivWar
several months ago. And he is right -- it is easy enough to dig this thread
out of the logs with a search program. Easier still to let your moderator
do it, and then have him put the entire conversation in the H-CivWar archive.
Which is what I have done. To obtain the my log of the previous conversation
on this topic, send the following command to listserv@uicvm.uic.edu :

Hmmm. This is exactly the thread I started a few months ago...

In addition to the messages you will probably receive, you may wish
to review the messages logged. I believe the subject was "Killer
Angles." I'm not sure how to go about this, but the message you
got when you subscribed probably mentions it and I'm sure someone will
be happy to help.

The last time several people made a point that the time could be better
spent in other readings especially since innacuracies would have to
be corrected. I was more curious about a younger age group. I think
that Jr. High and HS students may find this to be an excellent way
to become interested in the CW.

I look forward to reading other's comments on this subject.-Pete Tamas
