   Thank you for the comments -- I hope you won't mind my reposting the   
   first paragraph in the thread, so that the good people there can   
   benefit from it also :-)

   I would be very grateful for a cleaned-up version (my own reading has   
   so far been very selective -- reading only the parts that have been   
   immediately pertinent to my purpose, and not reading simply for the   
   experience, and moving to the latter purpose would indeed require a   
   more cleaned-up text).
