My “Sabbatical Semester” away from Unlock turned into a two-year absence. Which means that I had better admit the truth. Unlock will not return as an active website. Effective September 1st, 2008, Sheldon Finlay, our webmaster at Outerlimits Media, will pull the plug and Unlock will evaporate into the cyberspace of history. Until then, however, the site will remain fully functional. Hard copies of the annual collections from 2003 through 2006 will continue to be available from PE Central at www.pecentral.org.

I want to thank everyone who supported the site with your interest and encouragement. Until we meet again for some new conversations in the gym, my best regards to each of you.

Larry Locke

Again, the authors have presumed that readers will possess no special background in the various technical aspects of formal inquiry – and in that sense this remains a distinctly user-friendly book.
