Thoughts for this week

Contrary to what many readers assume, I am NOT retiring! Just leaving this particular field.

Despite well-meaning suggestions from readers over the past week, I will not be writing or producing any more publications in this field.

Some readers have asked about donations of new books. That is a great idea! Feel free to purchase as many copies as you please, and donate them to whomever or whatever!

My work is finished in this field. It is more than a full-time job to disperse and liquidate this inventory, not to mention writing tasks in new fields. Therefore, I have not the energy to entertain any requests for favours, regardless of how "small" they may seem. I have not even read the emails which have come in over the past three days (I will get to them tomorrow).
