    Lance: for the last time: David did NOT write the book, Kenn Thomas did. DHC has published over 350 books. He can't fact check every single citation or fact. He did the right thing by giving all copies to the man whose uncopywritten, unpublished work was cited w/ acknowledgement by Thomas. You are pushing this whole thing too far even though I asked you nicely, in private, to chill out.

    Christopher,

    No, Dewayne Johnson wrote the book. Childress and Thomas added some very minor comments to it (and a ton of pictures). Calling him a "bitter old man"... are those your words or Childress'?

    And despite what Christopher says about this only being part of Johnson's work, it appears to be his entire manuscript with a 2 and a half page commentary by Childress and a seven page Introduction by Thomas. The next 200+ pages all seem to be Johnson's.

    Notice how I corrected my error above about another book-that is because even though I don't like to be wrong, I am man enough to admit my mistakes.

    I wonder if you could be so kind to correct your error as well.

    This thread has gone way off the track. The mere request to ask questions of David Hatcher Childress has grown into a cesspool of personal attacks, where he's even being criticized not just for the books he wrote, but which he published. Clearly Adventures Unlimited Press has titles on a lot of subjects, and they certainly cannot be expected to agree with the contents of all, and that certainly holds true for David as the publisher.

    So I'm closing this thread, and if it picks up again in the same attack dog spirit elsewhere, members are subject to being banned.

    Can't we just get along?
