Well, this I recall, but it deosn't really deal in the
main with that "Introduction," now, does it?  But,
hey, if yr demanding a citation of each and eve'ry
mention of it somewhere or another, well, hey, give me
a minute or two, we'll seee what I can whip up ...

The following link I recall, if not actually posting,
at least planning to post myself, may even have during
our "moderated" week or so, things went missing, went
forgotten ...

But rather more a summary than an analysis, no?  The
"analysis," the "loosening," the "breaking up" here
more an epiphenomenon of the summation than any sort
of overt critical commentary.  No great loss (and now
it's found, so ...) ...  

But, hey, if yr complaining now that I simply wasn't
comprehensive enough, well, again, yr simply
complaining in order to complain.  Either I post too
much or too little, either I'm too comprehensive or
not comprehensive enough, so forth and so on, et
cetera, et alia, ad infinitum, ad nauseam, shantih
shantih shantih achoo.  Little Red Riding syndrome, if
I may coin an affliction.  But really more just
complaining because I'm posting, complaining to
complain.  Yadda yadda yadda, amen ...
