I agree.

Bode's Law is the only one I had heard of BTI (Before The Internet).
Say, maybe we could assemble a random table that would randomly choose
which method to generate the system with, and more random tables for
each method.  That should suffecently randomize the star systems.  :-)

So, are there any professional or amature astronomers out there?
