Except that the views expressed by Ali M are pretty extreme, and I would 
say do not reflect the view of most contributors to this list, whether 
sympathetic to your efforts or not. Many people (myself included) might 
like to see another book to *extend* yours - the question of course is 
what form it should take.

But such sour contributions, which actually contribute so very little to 
the debate, should not be weighed in the same balance as the many 
substantially more reasoned arguments already put.
