Hi Vic, I assume what Pseu meant by 'a mixed bag' is that there is a wide range of articles by a mixture of academics, scholars, enthusiasts. None of the people involved pretend to be experts and the papers are not peer-reviewed in the normal sense of that, a bit like Wikipedia perhaps, or the DT. Jim, Not sure what you mean by 'Steve Gardham's script' but thanks for the plug anyway. If I can be of any help I will be. Probably the most lucid explanation I have written on the subject is the intro to the new edition of 'The Wanton Seed' 2015. Unfortunately it's now OOP until the publisher decides there's demand for a new run. There is something like it, with examples, on the TSF website, Tradsong.
