Check the archives: the last major go-round we had on this was in November
and December of 1999: Nov 24-Dec 3 under the headers, "First Year Grammar,"
"Mounce," "Mounce's First Year Grammar" and "Mounce: Enough Already?" As
you may guess there was plenty of discussion of pros and cons of Mounce
from different perspectives. Early in that thread I referred to one older
discussion of April 5-9, 1994, for which you'd need to look at the older
archives at metalabs.unc.
