Hey, congratulations! That seemed to be a reasonably balanced review you got - better to have your insights praised and your spelling criticised than the other way round!
What was it that you and your teacher disagreed on?
Cheers Peter

Many congratulations to you, CJ! You are a very wise man so I am happy that your wisdom is being made available to others through one medium most everyone likes - books!

Thank you all who wished me well. Now comes the hard (and costly) part - publicity and marketing....I know it all but it takes money where my margin per book is 1-2 bucks. Yuk......well it is part of the mundane, I guess. I love what I do and I don't do it for the money so it trickles in anyways......The "disagreement" is a long story but the gists was that I used the concept of some illustrations that he used in his www.amazon.com/Third-Theory-Burt-Wilson/dp/0967657504/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1228327694&sr=1-1 earlier book (of course I modified it) and Burt claimed that I am using "his" stuff. All in all it was an ego thing, as "plagiarism" is the most sincere form of flattery. His message is not getting out anyway, he is very frustrated about it. He got upset with me despite the fact that I canceled the 1st edition. Since we separated anyways about "ego" there was no sense to hold back the book (which I have done when he asked me) Cheers!
