Yes Frank, as always I enjoyed the read and the easy conversational style on
a topic that has been chewed over many times before, but that's a compliment
rather than a caomplaint. Perhaps a liitle tightening up on the linage would
help the breath control of the reader. On the whole up there with much of
your other work
