This is reminding me of my my days in academia. In several of the fields I studied there was a stark division between the quantitative and qualitative approaches -- to oversimplify, between those whose collect words from their subjects vs. those who collect numbers. Myself, I never saw why there was the division in the first place. Both approaches have strengths and weaknesses, and which one you choose should be dictated by the question you are trying to answer. I usually liked to use both. This earned me approbation from those who had staked their position on one side of the supposed divide. In some situations (including some juniors), Swampy's approach using TA is the way to go, and in others RR's hot ticket approach works better. In most situations the rest of us would be better off listening to both. Now if the two of them would just stop posting against each other, we'd all be better off. It's not about personalities, it's about making money, folks! LC
