I think that its a bit much to describe Pete Wood's research as 'tedious' when 'Schantieman'(above) doesn't even appear to have read it! Why should something thorough and erudite be automatically labelled, by some people, as 'tedious'? Actually, Pete summarised his research at the National, a couple of years ago, and I thought that it was fascinating.
