Pram brings up an excellent point here, Norrin. Papers almost always have abstracts - a summary of what is contained in the paper including a touch of background, only the significant findings (and not all of them), and the conclusion. It's only a pargraph long.

If one writes a good abstract, the reader will then read all the details.

TMI is rarely the way to go if you wish to draw the reader into your examination of your thesis.

But remember too, that they are more than just words. They are a way of life. So whenever you speak them; speak them firmly, speak them proudly, speak them gratefully. I am an American. ...a tradition
