That's understandable; it's a pretty long series.  I've got this
worry, though, that you're going to read it all soon and have lots of
questions and comments -- just after I leave on vacation for two weeks
and am unplugged from email.  Anyway, just thought I'd send a heads up
to avoid any problems in reviewing/advancing this series.  Let me know
if there's anything in particular you'd like me to do (either the few
days before I leave or when I get back).  If you'd prefer to just wait
a few weeks to look at it, or are okay with me not responding to
reviews for a couple weeks or whatever, that's fine.

Thanks
Elijah
