I'm sorry smijen, I have to throw back my claims for the time being. I don't know when I'll be able to pick up recording again. :oops:

:oops: I am so sorry to do this so late in the project, but I'm not going to be able to complete section 7 after all. My circumstances have changed for the forseeable weeks. I only had three pages done - not edited and not worth salvage. Again, apologies. It's a wonderfully loaded section, very reve...
