Not having read that book myself, I could not say whether it contains recipes for intellectual dishonesty. However I think BB would do well to think about the idea of being able to influence a wider audience. The importance of the relational model need to be pushed, and BB is talented enough to do so. I often find myself reading his posts for words of wisdom, despite my distaste for his personality. Received on Wed Jun 10 2009 - 04:56:11 CEST
