Ken,
A thorough, appreciated and very thoughtful consideration. As a somewhat

While one can, must and always does engage each and every work at hand
hermeneutically, bringing to bear on the exchange one's own repertoire
however formidable, an actual meeting of the two worlds as research still
requires the author's meta-narrative and justification. And as Chuck always
ends his contributions,
or so I believe.
