Dear Mr Collins,
The argument below sounds rather construed and confusing.
Could you please be more precise as the points you raise are worth
discussion, but are presented rather disorderedly.
As for activity dependent work, there is a volume available now...do look
around a bit.
Hoping to hear from you on the matter.
cheers
S Chakrabarty
