Oh dear, some how managed to hit send instead of discard :-(
What I was thinking of saying was that I have very crudely used a similar
approach to look at expert views on environmental impacts, but only with
software that counted the occurance of specific terms or words. I have no
experience of proper qualitative analytical tools.
I am also just beginning to use Emacs (in Windows) and still need a lot of
hand holding, but certainly this is of interest to me as an Emacs mode.
