Hi Mark

In my opinion, one of the best chapters and one I modeled the whole book
on. You see, originally this work began as a review of Bodvar's SOLAQI
idea and that was supposed to comprise a whole chapter. Each chapter
followed a particular main topic that seemed to present itself. However,
as the work evolved, that idea fell by the wayside, mainly since Bodvar
has alluded to SOLAQI during the entire discussion and by following the
entire discussion in one chapter, characters are introduced before they
appear in subsequent chapters, leading to confusion. So by the time I
got done with chapter 15, the very last chapter originally, by the way,
I realized the entire work had to be rewritten and reorganized. One sign
is the seemingly haphazard way I named the files. At one time they were
in order. But really all that mistake did was to force me to go back and
become that much more familiar with the work.

Originally, "The Sceptic" was named "Contrarian" but at Struan's
suggestion I changed the name and like it much better.

Who indeed? Share some thoughts when you have time.
