Dear Sam,
You are clearly a fount of much knowledge in this area! Do you remember you
said I might see your paper? I'm not sure if you said you'd already given
the paper or were about to. Either way, I would love to see it if/when it's
ready. I'm not sure (being technically ignorant) if you would want to do
this by snail mail or send it electronically to me, or the whole group, or
what. I'd be more than happy to pay for international postage if you think
that would be the best way to send it.
I can't begin to tell everyone how grateful I am for all the help - it's
saving me a lot of frustrating search-time (much better spent reading). I
hope other people are finding it interesting/useful too. When I have a
clearer
picture of exactly want (ie when I've done some of this reading) I want to
do I'd like to run some of the ideas past the group.
Rebecca.
