Yes, seeing so much in a printed page that you could just tear your hear out wanting to respond to is just too daunting to even contemplate composing a post to.

I'm sorry for not giving you the last word, Linkadge. It almost doesn't seem fair. It does help, though, if you can supply the text along with a proper citation, or provide URLs to the literature being referred to. To refer to a name that alludes to a paper is not helpful. To refer to an article that refers to names and not citations to papers is not helpful.
I'm going to help you out, though.
I tried to track down your reference to "Moore, 1999" in a previous post. I couldn't find it, but I found something better. It was something he subsequently co-wrote.
