I agree with this generally, though perhaps I'd be a little more
liberal in certain aspects. I apologise if I misconceived your
opinions, but the last part of the essay came across as a little too
deletionist to be describing the status quo.

I certainly think we could afford a little more space to a non-major
characters, places and things; but I'm not way out there. I'll take
another look at the essay this evening.
