Greetings Gman,

good for you, both on the nearly getting your writing done front, and the other one. I too am about eight weeks out from the end of the epic phd journey. The pair of us have gone through a fair bot of stuff since we first started out here, no?

I wasnt giving you grief for the idea of giving the deserving a well rounded kicking, I was more worried about you getting your rear end tossed into some nast jail hell hole for doing it. No wittnesses and hide the bodies well, as they say. Violence may well be a valid tactical option, I can remember a giant economy sized fijian guy that I met telling me a hillarious story of his 'intervention' in an altercation between some rascist skin heads and some poor asian guy.

The other thing is that it is always nice to have some options for the folks that are possibly just misguided as opposed to actually out and out trying to wind you up.

I guess I was just suggesting that you take care of yourself, seen?

Good luck with those publishers. is self publishing an option at this stage?

love and life
paul
