Taking the high ground is admirable, but you still haven't answered the
relevant criticisms of your book. Please let us know why your own
independent work and contributions made so many mistakes in the Jacks or
Better strategy. And that's arguably the easiest strategy. Some of your
other strategies have bigger errors in them.
You chose to quote Babe's post saying you were criticized for no
discernable reason. That was true when Babe posted, but it's hardly true
now. My original post said you sometimes spoke of penalty cards and
sometimes got them correct. I only went into detail after you posted a
long note raving about the quality of your strategies. After my latest
post (Linda Boyd's Book, it should be clear to any impartial observable
that I had clear and understandable reasons for writing what I did.
At the very least, Linda, I think you owe this group something along the
lines of, "I'm sorry I didn't proof my book more carefully. These are
indeed serious mistakes Bob pointed out and I promise to fix them in the
second edition." Whenever someone has pointed out an error in one of my
products, I have made a similar apology and promise. Once I made such an
admission and apology, the subject was dropped by everyone. I'm sure
that will be the case if you act in the same way.
