I'm out for today, at least unless a nine year old article is desired un-updated (I'd rather put out better work, if I'm to put my name on it, to be honest), though I could do next week easy enough.
However, and this may be perhaps a bit awkward, I had had a mind to strike out at the Shrike myself. No commentary on Helbie's work, other than that it's worthy of emulation, mind you, and if either he wants it for himself or there's a desire that he would do it best justice, then clearly it should be so, but having been prompted to re-read the relevant books, I have been put in the mood to try and share my thoughts about what the mechs in fact "mean," aside from how they work and how to use them.
