Of course you're welcome. But please know that I made no attempt whatsover to build an exhaustive list of mistakes as I read. (What reader does?) I merely named some that came to mind as I wrote that post to provide a flavor, if you will, of the kinds of mistakes that I found. If I see any others, I will pass them on to you, since you ask. But I am not expecting to re-read your Critical Study any time soon, if you're wondering ...cbarkley wrote:And again, I appreciate your identifying for me mistakes in facts that I have made so that I can make corrections if I revise and update the book once the "Last Chronicles" is finished.
Oh, gosh, trying to CATCH UP with a message board is the worst possible thing to do!cbarkley wrote:As for contributing to the discussions here on the Board, I will certainly try to find time. I am not retired yet and teaching always takes a majority of my time. And I am of that generation that is really not used to blogs or twitter or discussion boards. I will try to read through the myriad of postings already listed here and add my two cents when warranted. I am a little daunted by the sheer number of posts. If there are specific areas you think might be most interesting to me and to which I could add significant insights, please point me in the right direction.
Here's my advice. Maybe some others will chime in.
Start off by visiting every day or so, or every week, as time allows. When you do, glance at the posts that are new since the last time you visited the board. (From the index page, click "New posts since last visit". You can then click on the ->[] under "Last Post" to see what was just added. Or the topic title to read from the beginning.)
As days go on, you'll soon discover, by title or by content, that there are parts of Kevin's Watch you're not interested in, and parts that you are.
When you feel the urge to do less lurking (reading only) and more contributing, begin by contributing to any ongoing topics.
As more time passes, you'll get more familiar with the Kevin's Watch territory, and then you can start browsing specific forums for other topics you may be interested in, but which aren't currently active. By all means, feel free to "bump" them -- make them active again - by replying.
You may find the topics in the Dissection (group read) forums interesting. Or that they might benefit from what you might add to them.
Other book-related forms will become apparent. Or, conversely, you may decide to become addicted to In Pursuit of Mallorys. Or talk about comics. Whatever. We serve all kinds.
And don't forget the Search function. Chances are, any topic you're interested in has probably already been discussed.
Hope this helps!
Wow - ! 
) I think the criticism was tasteful and judicious. And that an effort was made not to be offensive.
