The authors and their readers are predominately female. This is big hit to take...supple and demand...in two markets, in the same week.<br /><br />Yet -- look how far we've come since Authonomy. I never thought we'd get this far. I never imagined the market would have such incredible ups and downs.<br /><br />It boggles the mind.K. A.

Are we all doomed? <br />How do you find out or calculate the number of KENPs? No More Mulberries is 262 pages so I guess the KENP will about 500?
