Just wanted to thank everybody who participated in this. We are on track to
finish Lynch in the next two or three days.

I bought the Lim book, *Lynch on Lynch*, and *Catching the Big Fish*. Have
now finished with the last two and can say they are both fascinating.

I really recommend them both and can do so in more detail if anyone is
interested.
