Thank YOU, Gary, for the tireless work you have put in, both in organising the slow-read and in participating in such a rich and thoughtful way to the discussions just about every day. You really held everything together. I'm really sorry that external exigencies meant that I wasn't able to contribute nearly as much.
Thanks also to Ben for contributing heaps both philosophically and archivally, and to Kees once again for his high-quality book, a masterpiece of philosophical conciseness.
