Shlama AKhi Paul and Akhi Doug,
Truth be told, I almost did delete it. But I also thought that while this person was out of line in his insulting manner, some questions minus the insults could be dealt with. I probably did over explain though. And now I am at a point where I am just thinking all feedback, good and bad, should just go to <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.aent.org">www.aent.org</a><!-- w -->. If you guys see typos, why not just email Baruch and tell him where they are so we can fix them? Why just trash my proofreader or me and hide behind "numerous" and other such language? If it's worth raising in the first place, it's worth giving us a chance to agree or disagree, correct or leave in place.
I'll tell you something else. I did originally send a rough draft of Mari to Baruch to post for free (he runs some of my websites), but when word of that got out I literally received HUNDREDS of requests from all over the world begging me to publish. Baruch then told me he was getting support and advice from all quarters of Christians, Jews and Nazarenes. People who wanted to pay for pre pub copies that were years from completion--well I wouldn't do that because it wasn't ethical, and i didn't want the path of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-named. Others who wanted to donate equipment, printing expertise, etc.
Within a month of that rough draft going to Baruch, the hundreds of requests had turned into THOUSANDS. And for three years now hardly a day has gone by without at least 10 people emailing me privately or posting here, forwarding from other forums, BEGGING for Mari. Well, what could I do? And publishing a real world book costs real money...
So here we are, but I am probably over explainign again!
