All,
Read my original post in this thread.
Read - and understand - every word of it.
I don't have time to post now. I've been up since 4:00 am and have been working since 5:00 am - and have another's hour and a half's manuscript reading to do before an hour-long phone consultation with the author.
I'll say just this for now:
Bama, yet again you are seeing things through the filter of your own character, what you would do, what you would say, how you would act - and yet again you are wrong.
Time to put your money where your mouth is. My $500 to your favorite charity against your $500 to my favorite charity that you are dead wrong, and that the facts are exactly as I stated them. I'm willing to send my $500 to Traveler or Fred or Ferrix to hold in escrow, along with yours, waiting for you or anyone else to demonstrate that the facts are not precisely as I stated them in my originating post here.
(Make out two checks, chump - one to the Alzheimer's Foundation, the other to the Insight Meditation Society, $250 each.)
