I say let Terrance post his analysis of the last section of Vineland and
let Dave and Tim post their analysis of their sections whenver they have
the opportunity. Is it really that important that this is done
sequentially?  I for one am very interested in seeing what Terrence has
to say about the conclusion to Vineland.
