    We'll see if this holds once you read it. FORGIVENESS MAN (Depending on what book gets published first, the reactions could be very varied. Razz ) There's a reason I always say IF for publishing. You might not guess but I'm a strong self pessimist. Razz

    Sort of back on topic:
    Books are useless! I only ever read one book, "To Kill A Mockingbird" and it gave me absolutely no insight on how to kill mockingbirds! Sure it taught me not to judge a man by the colour of his skin... but what good does that do me?

    Except, that would actually make sense!
