Ocean,

Thanks for your review of the book, but when considering your infantile
and banal attack on my request for objective information about the book,
I'd say you were far from objective.

Nothing was slammed, shallow Ocean, read with understanding please.

Which I clearly stated in my request for information.

Neh, my mail was a request for information, yours was written while in a
tantrum it seems, and we must all ask why you wrote that way.

Precisely, but, about cob, my dear, not how to comtemplate my navel or
how to acquire a 4 x 4 post, or any other building material.

Ocean, it seems that I smell a weasel.  
Please control yourself and clearly state your relationship to the
authors of the book.  It seems that they are friends of yours.  Remove
yourself from this debate, as you have a conflict of interest and are
not objective.

Clueless?  To what?

Ah, so now you try to be objective?

I'll not comment on the usage of the word movement.  Your usage speaks
for itself.
