	I have a few important things to say about this story. I have a few
thank-you's to start with...

...to Mark Baushke, for putting the story into the Quantum Leap archive
...to Helen Lesser (I think...!) both for the encouragement and for Delusions
...to Beth Hlabse, for "The Three Doctors" (which I haven't got round to
	reading yet - sorry!)
...and most importantly, to Jeremy Douglas for spotting some of my Doctor Who
	blunders (or maybe they weren't mistakes...?!), and for a few
	interesting suggestions...


I have also been critisised on the Body/Mind leap argument. This story assumes
something rather complicated.
Essentially, the leap swaps the minds of the characters. However, I reasoned
that because Sam appears as Sam in the Hologram Projectin room (ie he looks
like Sam to Al), then the swap-ee will look like him/herself in the Waiting
Room. Hence the Doctor _can_ llok like himself. So there! Besides, Dr. Ruth
looked like herself when she was talking to Al... and whenever we see someone
in the Waiting Room they look like the people that should be!

Right. Finally, I'd like to post a request. If there are any more critisisms,
requests, suggestions etc then please e-mail the to me and DO NOT POST THEM
TO THIS NEWSGROUP. I'm leaving until October, and the mail server here at
Imperial College only holds posts for a month before deleting them. Thanks.

	Right - have fun, I hope to pop in some time to continue the story.

		Ozzy.
