Thanks Todd. You've removed about one degree of obfuscation. Not what I would call clarity, but I get the impression that this piece of writing is not being rated too highly. That's what I suspected Keith was saying, it just wasn't terribly clear. Nor was your response for that matter.
I haven't been following the list too closely, but for some reason the posting for that book caught my eye. I followed the link, read about 10 pages and found the premise a bit intriguing, but also felt it seemed a bit apocalyptic. I was just curious to see what Keith and others thought of it. I still don't know exactly. What's wrong with asking for a little clarification?
