Hi,
I thought maybe I just wasn't thinking straight yesterday, but this one
is still confusing me this morning. When would we have a case where a
living animal has a statdate equal to birth? The sentence makes more
sense to me if you take out the word "live."
Perhaps I'm missing the context for this . . . is this change follow-up
on a discussion you guys have been having at Duke? I didn't see
anything with a similar heading in the BaBase archives.
