You may be right - all I heard was discussion among my friends
and people on the theos lists - and these comments were
overwhelmingly positive.

So the only people that could like the books are those unable to
critisize them, or too close minded to believe in Masters? Kind
of a sweeping statement doncha think? If you are stating this
"for the record", would you care to put the proof of the
statement on the record as well?
