devastatingly negative, both the first and second half.  And who the hell 
wants to start pinpointing all the errors, sloppiness, misleading

Reyzl,

Should I take your comment here to mean that I am not a "real scholar"? Tread 
lightly, Reyzl. If you have a problem with my book come out and say it and do 
not snipe in your backhanded way. 

Henry
