Craig,

>I remember talking to you and Steve in Miami about his illness.

I remembered talking to you too. The diatribe wasn't really directed just at you... I felt some need to put the thing "on the record" so it would be known that canceling a book wasn't a standard thing for either Whil or me. These were extraordinary circumstances that I hope will never be repeated.

I hope the people that pre-ordered the book will not be too upset about it. It was not my intent to disappoint them, and this is _not_ Whil's fault.
