But believe me one day it will just be done. Inevitably, if you perservere, it will be done. Maybe done not as great as you would have liked, maybe with holes you can see (but noone else can shh... be quiet), but you will have learned something. That is that it is extremely hard work to even advance a little bit. That you need to be satisfied with something less than addressing the whole gdam topic. Its too much. Wait till you have 4 PhD students of your own to direct(if that happens), then you can finally get some answers! And then it will be 4 years later and its strange that that big thing is now done so long ago. Cheers Brian PhDs are one of the wierdest torture trials known.

I'm on intermission but at some point I have to make a return to it. It's almost finished, but with a 85,000 word draft even the most minor operations are daunting.
