Sorry about that. I do apologize*.

ETA: Oops, just realized that I used the generic quote tag for the last thing I quoted and that's probably what you were referring to.

Not any attempt to "build a case" against anyone's views at all, only to illustrate what I think you asked about: how much of the text gets used, how do they handle the soliloquies, etc.
