Please excuse this if it appears as a repeated posting, I sent it 24 hours ago and have not yet seen it posted to the list. Thanks.

Please read my words. In other words, as I said, >this was not about the new book as such. I know this may sound rude, and I apologize for this, but I often have trouble understanding your words. We certainly have had our share of miscommunications. When you quoted from Peter Bunyan's words about the book and then wrote: *the reviews of this general "adventure programming" work,* and since the general work we were discussing at the time was called "Adventure Programming," I simply pressumed you meant the book and not the entire field of adventure programming. My confusion must have been further amplified by your repeated distaste for the term programming (you have often said how you dislike it and I couldn't imagine you using it in conversation this way). However, after rereading your words, I must admit, I still don't see it the way you now explain. Perhaps you meant it this way, but I just can't find it. Sorry, but can you explain it differently? Lastly, I'd still be interested (as I'm guessing others might also) in your citation for the aforementioned leisure studies review. We can all do well to respond to criticisms of our field. Therefore, I look forward to your onlist posting of this reference (once I've read it, I'll respond to it). Thanks. REGARDS!
