     Nice names, but why has he not finished it by yet? Did he give up or
did they give him up?

PK: Interesting question. Does anyone know the answer? I guess he's 
been too busy to make progress recently. Maybe he needs to earn a 
living. Or perhaps he has finished? I don't know.

PK: Well, by "little fraternity" I was thinking of that subset of the 
scholarly community at large who follow your example in prejudging the 
work of would-be scholars without even reading their work.
