Chip -
Might be off-topic, but if anyone is interested - the 'publisher' got all upset because I contacted one of
their 'distributors' and issued a C & D statement. Suddenly I was being all 'aggressive'. Hmmmmm. Originally
I would have been OK had it just been the TEXT that was copied - and given authorship credit (they OFFERED
that, no signed agreement), but all of the graphics in the work were done by me, and my likeness is in there
too - I never signed a release for that. Since it was MY book, I could do that... Odd that only ONE place
complained to the publisher... Again, hmmmmmm... Offerings to Tesla must have worked. My guess is they are
backed into a corner and don't like that...

Oh, and ask that if anyone happens to SEE the 'illegal' book on or for sale anywhere, let me know.

Hi Brent,
Sorry to hear your tale of disgusting behavior and theft. Would you mind
if I posted this directly to the list?
