Yours is being cited as a positive review however I don't I get that from a careful read. The lack of specific positive examples does, I believe, contribute to that, as well as perhaps a (unjustified) belief that there may be some professional courtesy in the use of soft language.<br /><br />Then again, I'm currently playing thought police at work, so I could be both overreaching and impolite in observations. My reaction to this product, though, was so visceral that I'm left wondering of the value others may see int it.<br />Bryce Lynchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02937707770681963948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-77237021377583393922014-01-13T11:08:33.157-08:002014-01-13T11:08:33.157-08:00"more than I expected""more than I expected"Zak Sabbathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812410680077034917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-29962324338952633942014-01-13T10:29:55.883-08:002014-01-13T10:29:55.883-08:00Hmmm, or perhaps we have different definitions of ...Hmmm, or perhaps we have different definitions of "gratifyingly often" ...Bryce Lynchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02937707770681963948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-46587917424062645402014-01-13T10:27:05.208-08:002014-01-13T10:27:05.208-08:00Could you defend this statement, please?

I am definitely gonna raid this sucker for ideas, and I don't regret the purchase, but pretty much the entire book consists of tables, and the way they're constructed is pretty bizarre and basically unusable. Still recommend it, though.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07090296806321882601noreply@blogger.com
