	This one I can identify with.  I admit I don't get the whole
	"abandoned" thing.  There is a profound and radical difference
	between finishing a work and abandoning one.  I have done both
	and I can say from my experience that the two are not even
	remotely related.  Also, who is to say when a piece is finished,
	other than the artist creating it?  I have done things that were
	absolutely and without question finished and I would never
	equate the outcome to something abandoned, though others might
	disagree. =8^o

	People get some odd ideas. :)
