  11. 11. 11 Menachem Katz 11 Textual variations on Vilna page
  12. 12. 12 Menachem Katz How can we display only “major” variations?  If we present all of the variations, the significant data will be hard to notice within the noise.  If we present only what we think is “major”, we could miss variations that the user think is indeed major.  The difference between the types of users make the mission even harder.
