Well, that's my point, you don't have to wait for everyone to finish,
we couldn't have for AtD, recall also M&D, me, i'd just as soon make
it a work in progress ...

Ultimately, I'm only really getting a handful of opinions on the
matter, and I';m deferring to those actuallly willing to host, so ...
on the other hand, I'm also taking into account popular demand for
some time now here for picking up the pace a bit,

Let's face it, AtD was going to be a Major Campaign no matter what, but ...

... but a clip of 20 pages a week or so seems even to me, someone who
generally gets bogged down WITHIN sentences, reasonable, doable,
perhaps optimal, even.  Esp given that, we'll actually have an end in
sight.  Minimize attrition ...

Again, I can keep posting background mat'l, serving suggestions, et
al. for a wheil nwo (plus I'[m goingh to be out of twon enxt weeknd,
so ...), so why don't I bump th schedule ahead a week or so, so your
stint falls after Labor Day ...

Want to cennserve as much moemnetum from the book release as possible ...
