This post and the responses to it can be used as excellent examples of how
easily perception can be skewed by selective reporting (unintentional in
this case).  Through private e-mail exchanges with Richard I have come to
understand and respect his sensetivity to this issue.  He's asked a
legitimate question "What is the spread in the book like?" which indicates
to me that he recognizes the difference between excerpts and the whole. 
Let's not get too jumpy about this.
