Conclusions

So writing a conclusion to a PhD thesis is a lot harder than I would have imagined. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts that any of you might have.

At the moment I am leaning to the kind of advice given here (scroll down), that it is a purely instrumental section saying, "This is what I've done, this is how it's great, this is what I'd do next if you gave me the cash." Or something on those lines.

I know some of you have already passed through this elusive initiation rite. Any advice?

Thank you - this is useful in terms of giving me a sense of what a reasonable length to a conclusion might be, and also "don't sweat it" is good advice. Better written in some form than not written at all.
