I can imagine how demotivating and destructive it can be on you, especially considering his style and how valuable your work is. On such an event of publishing a book which you should be celebrating, all the pleasure can be destroyed very easily. I congratulate you on your new book. As soon as it's available online, I'll order my copy. You can expect a review from me. I hope I could cheer you up a little with this small joke :) Tom – I followed the discussion between you and him.

On a slightly more serious note, thanks for the reminder about Mythquake - I do need to get on with posting the rest of this series. More later, either tonight or (more likely) tomorrow morning. Thanks again, anyway. Iyigun, that was definitely cruel… :-) :-)

You’re creating a new scale Tom, it may have been stimulated by the Mercalli scale but you have moved so far away from the concept that you need a new name :) Please exhibit some intellectual honesty and we might then be able to move forward.
