Hey Steve,

I havn't had a chance to read your document yet but I have been 
following mailing list comments.

It's incredably important when doing this kind of a review that you 
reference all of your sources, just as you would with any other 
technical or scientific paper.

Was it originally in KWord format? I'm not sure it has a referencing 
system but something as simple as:

A paragraph blah blah. X is far superior to Y in terms of Z [1]. Blah 
blah.

...

[1] J. Bloggs, "His Document Title", web address/journal/etc, date if 
known.
[2] ...
[3] ...
...

If you can reference your sources your document will have a lot more 
value and stand up against far more scrutiny. In particular, people 
will take less of an issue with what you've written and more of an 
issue with your sources!

Best regards,
Barry
