If you are getting this e-mail, it means that at one time or another I have received an inquiry from you regarding obtaining a copy of my dissertation. I have been dilatory about assembling a .pdf file that contains the whole thing, but I do now have this together. It's about 1.5MB, which is why I don't send it along as an attachment.

And, my thoughts on some matters have also changed a bit in the year since I finished writing this. But, anyway, it is what it is, and if you want to check it out, here's the link: [click here for the pdf file].
