I just saved it and will copy to a text file, closer spaced where more of it can be read on one page before moving on.

Well, Bovon, there are a lot of footnotes, and it makes sense to have it in a format where those will carry over properly. I could have converted it into Word, I suppose, but I hate Word and use WordPerfect unless I'm forced to use Word. Thing is, people can read .pdf's no matter what word processor they have.

As for its length: 20 double-spaced pages doesn't seem long to me, especially when a complex argument is being made. But I recognize that the American attention span has dwindled over the years to what can be treated between commercials.
