If there's a PDF copy anywhere and you don't mind sharing, I'd love to read it. I'm nerdy that way: I read PhD dissertations for fun...

I do, and now I have a better appreciation for those people who wrote in asking where their questions were after 100 hours had passed. I don't think I was snippy with them when I was a writer, but I empathize with them more now.
