Actually, I have a question about the grammar. Shouldn't it be "There is a number of factors...", since "number" is singular? I am always running into this, and I don't recall it being hashed... :0)


I noticed that and was wondering if anyone was going to ask about it. I'd have to see the context but I think the subject is really 'factors'. If it were something like "the number of factors has increased by ..." I'd be with you on that but I don't think it's any different than if it had been, say, "[t]here are seven factors in such renegacy."
