Your original post mentioned possible "slander" which is a legalistic
kindof thing and apt to make
moderators nervous . . .
I agree keep it fraternal but sometimes its difficult to get the tone
right - its true that whatever new editing job Bill Breeze undertakes
many will
be looking for the catch - it probably is an overreaction as part of his
thing obviously is fine tuning editions -
if the old editions were allowed to coexist rather than suppressed there
would be less of a problem -
afterall there are many fine new editions of egyptian texts, grimoires
etc - the older editions are still valued -
bit like the King James Bible I suppose?
