That dog don’t hunt no more. Well, yes, that’s obviously wrong. I don’t want to hijack this thread any further, but I’ve been having trouble finding a good history of Quakerism. If you know of any good ones, could you click on my profile and e-mail me? I’m currently reading [Friends for 300 Years](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0006DD7XI/qid=1130966684/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i2_xgl14/104-1584986-5875936?v=glance&s=books&n=507846), which I find to be a good spiritual history of Quakerism, but it was published in 1950, so it leaves off the last 50 years of development. ---
