I'd be delighted if someone could summarize the main points of the paper 
in less than 30 pages. I started reading it but after the first eight 
pages or so I got too much reminded of this post about AOP (I know this 
may sound nasty but it's also very funny so I'll post it anyways and 
*please* take it with a bit of humor ;-)

"Let me frame my comment by defining a few terms first, a topiccut is a 
some section of a topic that I'm addressing. A critpoint is a criticism 
location attached to some sub point of a context. A lecture is the 
application of a criticism given a set of critpoints. critpoints may or 
may not be defined by other critpoints. The use of topiccuts, 
critpoints, lectures involve what is defined as a 'discussion'. A 
taxonomy of 'discussion' needs to be defined to determine the 
applicability of the effectiveness of the use of critpoints, topiccuts 
and lectures.

It all makes sense if you really think about it.

In a later post, I will introduce the required query by example syntax 
which does not resemble the context syntax.

I define this as the ContextJ project (ContextN and ContextMono 
forthcoming)...

Now that everything has been defined, I'm a little unsure how to define 
my critpoints and where they may apply. I'm tired, maybe I'll just put 
my criticism in context directly next time..."
