Why spend $4
(Let's see now, it started as under $10, then $5, now it's down to $4. Maybe eventually I could get it for free?) > to read something that someone else found utterly > fascinating about the TMO? Joe, dear, it depends on *what* that someone found utterly fascinating about the TMO. That's what I'm trying to get you to give me an idea of, but for some reason you don't want to say. > So much to lose (that $4) and so little to gain (knowledge). Not a matter of price but of time. And I already asked you, what knowledge would I be gaining that I don't already have? One thing I think you may be forgetting is that unlike you, I never had any illusions about the TMO. So I doubt a book that criticizes the TMO would give me all that much to ponder. I could be wrong, of course, but that's why I keep asking you what it would cause me to ponder about. Not sure why I can't pry it out of you. What is it you're unwilling to say about it? > > > Read it or don't read it.
