one last point. I never made a personal attack on the author in
question. i dont know him. I just didnt like his book. He may very
well be very good at what he does. Big names arent anything. Alot of
people are raving about Christopher Lawson's tuning book, but hardly
anyone knew who he was before he wrote. his lack of a big name didnt
hurt him any in writing that book now did it?
