For those interested, I've sent the manuscript out to 6 FTR regulars. 3 of them have shown definitive signs of already getting started on the manuscript (werd), and some have been sending me comments offline (by which I mean through online venues like email, but not through FTR).

You're welcome to send comments wherever you'd like, whether they be through this thread or otherwise. I'll likely at some point ask some common questions here (a couple of things that a few people are commenting on that are pretty important) that might lead to some productive conversations.
