I found myself thrashing over whether or not it was = worthwhile finishing my own effort, so I thought I would ask on these = lists. I=92ve included my current incomplete draft as an attachment. = If you are interested in this sort of thing I would appreciate it if you = could take a look and tell me if you think it adds enough value to be = worth finishing.
