Applications are made to quenched and dynamical fermion configurations. We find evidence for significant differences between quenched and dynamical fermion configurations. We discuss how to relate dependence on the bare lattice parameters to more phenomenologically useful quantities.18 pages, 5 figures, typos fixed and reference addedHigh Energy Physics - Latticetext
