Jim,

Some corrections may be appropriate from my previous post.

>From the US Census Bureau Population Clock:
The populations displayed on the clock are not intended to imply that
the population of the world is known to the last person. Rather, the
clock is our estimate of the world population size and an indication
of how fast it is growing. According to the current estimates, the
world population reached 6 billion on 23-Jun-99 at about 11:51 AM GMT
(June 23 at 7:51 am EDT). Because of the uncertainties of the
estimates, and the fact that we are constantly updating our estimates,
it is possible that the estimate of when 6 billion was hit could
change. The United Nations, whose population estimates differ somewhat
from our figures, celebrated the "Day of 6 Billion" on October 12,
1999.
I had "guesstimated" the population at 10 billion. Who can say?

Additionally, some material from Robert Bacal's post which I
referenced were not indented, thus may be misunderstood. The following
are those lines:

>I know what I've written is blunt. I wouldn't bother writing this
if I didn't think that Deming's work deserves to be held in high
esteem, and that it deserves to form the basis of new ways of
thinking about improving business and improving life for all.

The trends have been clear for years now. The Deming "movement" must
change. Or it's stone cold dead.<

That's it. Thank you
