Dear Philip and Funknet,
  If you and Derek have developed a major breakthrough in our
understanding of the theory of syntax, why don't you include something
regarding the breakthrough in your posting to Funknet.  You state that
you now have a "theory of syntax that is far simpler and far more
general than current theories, and more importantly, that makes
software that individuals working with other theories can only dream
of".  A quick trip to your web site finds things like "clients",
"demos", and "downloads", but no button labeled "theory".  Would it be
possible for you to either give an explicit link to the part of the web
page that contains the theory or, better yet, summarize the theoretical
advance in a few paragraphs?  Many thanks.
