Dumb (probably) Questions...

[Daffyduck]

Well, I've given up. I'm returning the advance and suggesting my friend go elsewhere.

I've spent more time on this than it deserves, given that I have papers in my own field that are due in soon. The time-money crunch for independent scholars is like this, and I've learned my lesson, I think.

Thanks for the efforts, in any case.

Best--DD
