Sho - employed again! Posted Apr 3, 2008
I was just thinking that if I could write 4,341 words I'd be a very happy bunny right now.

I haven't read the PR threads yet, maybe it has been suggested somewhere, but I think not.

It's a monster job. Even if it isn't going to be broken down into smaller entries, perhaps you just need to break it into 5 files and do one at a time? (Subbing is probably easier that way, and also if you do them out of order you'll spot mistakes quicker, I think)
I think we're going to need an awful lot of for this one!

I've run it through a spell check, and there wasn't anything the spell check spotted. Still, I'll need to read it thoroughly, to pick up what the spell check doesn't. I think I'll print it out, should make it easier to deal with.

I've just seen it.
It appears to be very well-written. I'd just concentrate on fixing the obvious things, like links to researchers PS's and various thank-yous scattered around it. No point checking the facts - it's too specialised for that.
I don't think there's anything to be gained from splitting this one now - I'd let the Eds decide on that.

That sounds like a plan, Icy, especially since the printer is blinking in some code. Probaly run out of ink, cause there's enough paper in it. Just my luck.
