Count me in! While I would be happy to simply buy a copy from UMI, I think more could be done. My understanding is that small but respectable academic publishers like Brill, Baker Academic, and Kregel all welcome directly submitted dissertations/theses for publication. (Certainly O.U.P. and C.U.P. would be great, but putting all the eggs in those baskets might not be wise.) I think the first step would be asking the permission of JWH’s parents, then Dr. Song, who presumably has the electronic copy with correct fonts, etc.

I didn't know there was a great demand for failed dissertations from Loyola that were composted and resubmitted to Zululand.

Isn't Zululand just past the Matterhorn over near Fantasyland?
Chinese fonts? Didn't the Ramones write a song about Chinese fonts? I'm livin' on Chinese fonts...everything is in the pawn shop!
Now I see why people ridicule RCD's nine-month wonder. No comparisons to Confucianism, written entirely in English, no translations of 2000 year old docs, just actual research and analysis. What was he thinking?

I agree that Janko's diss makes Douglas's look like a kindergarten coloring project. It's unfortunate it's recycled material.
What was the topic of Uncle Janko's thesis for his masters from Loyola? Did he even write a master's thesis or was the M.A. awarded somewhere during the doctoral coursework? In that case, the student who doesn't successfully complete the diss at least has a masters to show for it.
FWIW, I would be interested in obtaining a copy of Uncle J's dissertation ("thesis" in SA), even though I know very little about the field.

No kidding ... instead of hanging around the DL fora, it sounds like Uncle Janko should have been hanging around the Cicero fora.

I always make the example of the 15yo wop bum who -online- could be mistaken for a medically trained athlete able to advise about illegal performance drug concoctions...even business owners and chemical companies sent him 'samples for research'...
Now that took place on some big junk site used as advertising vehicle for its millionaire owners & their business, whose mainstream audience consisted in retarded, hyper or just plain maladjusted teenagers probably drugged up to their eyeballs for weird personality disorders and adding alcohol and pot on top.
Would he have fooled a truly competent audience?
Not at all.
The same happens with all the internet impostors, mountebanks, drama queens and plain mentally disturbed who fight to monopolize the gallery's attention.
All the five stars neurosurgeons, philologists, engineers, kung-fu great-masters, billionaires...won't survive a minute among truly competent people...it's like the 'funny' guy around the corner who tells a bigger 'story' every day but none believes him no matter how strong his will to the contrary is.
Who could Janko fool with his pig latin and one-liners in Swahili or Hungarian?
Thomas Chip White who posts online in-between filming gay teen fairies shoving huge objects up their cavernous exhaust?

As always, Ham, you hit the nail right on the head. Janko might actually have had something useful to share, if he had been so inclined. He had an RA masters degree and an NA masters degree, he washed out of an RA doctoral program but managed to collar a legit foreign DL doctorate.
He could have been a source of useful information to the DL community...if he had been inclined to share.
Instead he falsely claimed his NA masters was RA, and spewed hostile gibberish on public forums instead of anything helpful.
And who fills the void (so to speak) but Tailpipe Chip, with a trail of academic fraud and no degrees to go with his enemas and gay boy porn enterprises. That's the guy you wish would shut up and go away. Go figure.
In all these years online I understood that the most pompous characters and the most impressive personae are the faker the more impressive they (try to) sound or look.
If you think carefully, the true millionaire is more likely to be sailing on his yacht banging his stable of pubescent topmodels rather than typing away about it online, right?
In fact both John Bear and Thomas Chip White were rather busy 1. cashing royalties from books and 2. philandering among queer teenagers (his equivalent of a stable of pubescent models I think ), while they both put up with other fellow 'funny' people and degenerates to 1. help sell stuff and help conceal a 'problematic' past and 2. help engineering a 'respectable' facade to balance the weight of 70+ gay teen porn DVDs and enema recipes as cancer treatments...hardly surprising...remember the Belgian wop minister who wouldn't shake hands with the Italian wop minister on the grounds he was a so called 'fascist'?
You'll also remember that short thereafter the whole Belgian government succumbed to a scandal involving highest ranking MURDEROUS pedophiles...
The self-righteous anti-fascist wop covering up for the wop involved with murderous pedophiles and their clients...
