And also many, many thanks to all those people with whom I discussed this subject, and who did not lynch me for my thoughts; but especially to my mother, Carole, who diligently gave me a hand in editing this paper.
Many thanks to Guthwulf for publishing this monster paper, which I thought would end up at about 10 to 15 pages at the most. When I handed it in, it was a full 40 A4 pages long - whoops! I underestimated Tad, Tolkien and myself. I apologise!
