I understand that the point isn't really important to you at *this*
point and that's okay. But it is important to disseminate information
that is correct when we are given the opportunity. The words are easily
confused and the way I see it is that this is a perfect opportunity to
help readers who may have not remembered since their last literature
class (how long ago?) that a a writer would never ask an influential
person to write the "forward" to that writer's book. Small matter to a
dentist ... not a small matter on a relatively entry level English
Literature exam. So, enough said about that except for one other thing:
in no way did I get the idea that you paid anyone to write the foreword
in your book. I'm not sure where that idea came up but I read it
somewhere and wanted to add my comment.

Now, as far as the dental aspect of your question goes, I expected you
would take notice of my comment. If you're interested in exploring that
topic, I'd prefer to initiate a new thread for the purpose of its
discussion. This thread is getting very long and at this point, many
comments by posters to the thread risk the deep abyss.

Let me know if you would like to open that discussion and I'd be willing.
If not, I am perfectly comfortable with that too.
