Depends on the reasons for counting, yes? Some of us are social sciency and 
enjoy dealing with demographics of all kinds......how many angels can dance 
on the head of a pin, for example. If others prefer to be stuck by the pin, 
that's their lookout.
This list has run through a multitude of topics, not the worst of which is 
the current thread which, if renamed, might not seem so megalomaniac or 
silly.
