Re: sentences & paragraphs



Dear Salwa & all CASI people,

Sorry, but I have to agree with Felicity re. the lengthy, and somewhat 
unwieldy, articles. In my view, and I speak as one un-highpowered, who
prefers to keep things uncomplicated, the sheer volume of words takes away 
the desire to actually want to read on. May I suggest that a resum'e or 
(horrible phrase!) 'condensed' version of, at the very most,
a tenth of the original piece be shown, then those interested can simply 
click on the URL underneath. - Are you going to shoot me down in flames? - 
By the way, the words of 'The Star Spangled Banner', well, what can one 
say...thought-provoking!

Greetings,
Bert Gedin,
Birmingham, U.K.
