It would be helpful if Pat gave the specific citation to his AJES paper on Davenport. Even more helpful to post an abstract (which I think Humberto will allow). [An abstract is fine. Discussants may wish to start a new thread, e.g., DISC--Davenport. HB] Also helpful to know why he feels he understands what Davenport "really" meant, as opposed to what he wrote. Mason Gaffney
