"When will we be through?" they whined.

Jen: Oh no, we're never finsished. Hasn't everyone figured that out 
yet? Resistance is futile. We have been assimilated <beg>.

*Uh-oh Potioncat, there's that 'read and inwardly digest' part that 
tripped us up last time.*

Seriously though, this review has been a good thing. I feel slightly 
abashed at my own inconsistent and somewhat manic coding style; I 
hope this experience will serve its purpose. Every time I code from 
now on I can think, "Remember the Review, Remember the Review" sort 
of like "Remember the Alamo" but without historical cred and the 
nifty souvenirs.

Jen: I want to finish the chapter codings and the 
characterization/psychological assessment section before moving on. 
Can't guarantee those will be done by the 14th because we have 
Spring Break next week, but put me on the list for continuing to 
review until those are done (and any others left pending).
