Jim, I have just found it odd that you state things as fact, and then refuse to back them up with anything but your own observations? (I have to assume that will make you mad by stating this, sorry in advance). Books have been written and written incorrectly, but unless you produce evidence to refute their incorrect statements, then it is simply your views. Which I thought was what was being examined here, EVERYONE's views.

This might be accepted US practice and Dwight and others stated that this was from a (what I thought) well known book. So, I ask, why do you think this book is no good?

I do get tired of people stating that they will drop from the forum when they have a subject that is challeneged, challeneged because others have stated their views in contrast to their views.

Overall this has been fairly civil, or I would have locked the thread, I do apoligize if you, Jim, feel that you have been pointed at and felt foolish, but as a newer member, you came and told several members that their views were wrong and foolish, so I can see why others would get their backs up.
