It's allways nice when someone has constructive comments on something
you did.   In this respect I do think Eric had a very valid point.  Mr.Sloan's
comments were totaly uncalled for.  Wether the comments were intended to
judge someone else's thought or the book is completely besides the point.

mr. sloan's comments were clearly intended to judge someone else's
thoughts on what the book should or shouldn't contain, not the book
itself.

so eric, don't write 'i don't believe that other should people should
judge' if you're not capable of reading correctly what they wrote.
