| ``Re: Foreseeable comments for the basic arithmetic tables up to 12''

| I agree with Ray here. I don't really see multiplication tables as terribly educational (sorry Ray) but I don't have a problem with their inclusion in an encyclopedia -- my desk copy of a math encyclopedia has a huge appendix filled with similar tables, such as all primes less than 10,000, oodles of digits of e and pi, etc. It is just data of a mathematical nature. With the ability to search the database, it don't think adding such entries makes it harder to get to what you might
think of as the "useful entries."
Ultimately it is a little disappointing at times to include an entry and then get lambasted by attached comments concerning the "validity" of the entry. It is too bad these comments aren't being made on forums etc. so that random visitors to the site don't feel like they have to wade through the internal politics of PM contributors. If there really is an issue with an article, why not post a correction or e-mail the author?
