Justin, 

	Could you post this paper, along with any other interesting ones
you've written, to the list? Or at least send it via e-mail to a few
individuals attached to a letter. I do not have a subscriptioon to Nous,
nor an easy source to get the journal from, but would like to read the
paper. 

Kevin
