Of course, I was providing those stats tounge in cheek. :) The 2.3 million
refers to links leading to white papers, or data bases containing white
papers, although a quite number of those are duplicates. What I perhaps
didn't make explicit is that only *2* of those links lead to document
guides about white papers, and so far I've only found 2 books and 2 articles
on the subject. My point was there are a LOT of white papers out there (tons
of white papers) and very, very little written about them. (!= tons of info
lol :)

Many thanks to all who posted to the list and/or wrote to me privately. In a
month or so I'll have a rough guide of mine own written. if anyone wants a
copy let me know.
