Hello all,
I believe Michael misread Donald's post and thought that Donald was
referring to his *own* book when he (Donald) commented that Campbell's book
was "hard to improve on". I agree that Michael should read messages more
carefully, but if this was just a misunderstanding, it isn't worth the
bandwidth.
