I guess what I mean is that wasn't the original purpose of quota to make sure chapters stayed all close to the same size? I.e., that certain chapters didn't keep getting bigger? Maybe the answer is that the previous rationale is no longer the purpose of quota and that is fine.
I suppose one way to compensate is to have a higher total and allow the chapters taking near quota to get to the average chapter size through COB... Or, we all agree that chapters being the same size doesn't signify chapter strength!
P.S. DeltaBetaBaby -- I am going to check that out, but off to work now. Being a finance/accounting person, I LOVE numerical examples
