Hi John, Please accept my apologies....I put to much passion in few and not well selected words! Believe me my intention was much better than the response I elicited. Anyway,I'll try to be as clear as I can. You see John, since I first started reading NLP books,articles,and attending courses, I've always found very few pieces of work in which a diligen student can read your opinions (as a single writer) about NLP.I thought that deep down between you and Richard there might be a very nice and sofisticated difference of opinions ( May be some new and fascinating distinction for my map)which might be of great interest for who really love to learn new things(in this case me). If the reasons are just personal I obviously don't really want to know. Carlo
