Seems to be a response to one of my previous comments about how this went beyond just the standard. A very nice presentation explaining why you should spend $1500 for a study. The conversion argument is potentially compelling.

Life With Alacrity: The Dunbar Number as a Limit to Group Sizes

A deep anlaysis on the "optimal" size of social groups. The suggested maxium is 150, and that really is a maximum, working only for groups that have a real reason to stay together. Worth citing a lot.
