Re: When should I add index terms?

[Brian Bertrand <bertran -dot- de -dot- st -dot- jean -at- gmail -dot- com>]

If you index as you go, it also provides a handy snapshot as to the progress
of the project as well, and can give you an idea of what things may be
missing that need to still be addressed.  I build glossaries/acronym guides
as I go as well, which is a handy by-product for government if nothing else!

Cross-sectional studies show that 100% of Russian Roulette players surveyed
had suffered no ill effects from participation.

More conservative longitudinal studies indicate the same, although it should
be noted that these studies had a high attrition rate, with 16% of
respondants being unavailable for the follow-up survey.

A bullet, laser beam, missile or charge may have your name on it, smartbombs
and bombs are addressed "To whom it may concern"..
