  1. Jack Jack Jack. How can you expect us to believe you when you routinely exaggerate? Thirty-one books? Clicking on you in this link

    http://www.eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPorta...&ERICExtSearch_SearchType_0=no&accno=ED213590

    shows ONE real typeset book (not knocking it, I'll bet it's great) and TWELVE typewritten obscurely published pamphlets or monographs. As I recall from previous time wasted researching you, all the rest are monographs as well. And you didn't WRITE everything, you edited much of it. So what part of a Mercedes did you have, a tire? I could go on, but you and our readers who obviously have no lives either get it.

    Unless you would care to provide some substantiation, it looks to me like you were just a garden variety grant-sucking academic hack. Nothing wrong with that, done it meself, but please don't be pretentious about it.

  2. I forgot that he counted those. I was trying to be content-neutral in my post and focus on the fact that the word "book" in the common current parlance conjures in the minds of most receptive readers a bound collection of typeset pages printed and distributed by a publisher and having an ISBN. An ebook clouds that picture, so to it we must add some content standards such as professionally created graphics, competent editing, pleasing formatting, and sensical text.

    My point was exaggeration. The implication or imputation of significance, importance, relevance. The sense of having been a "somebody." One rather gets the impression of "I cudda been a contenda! I cudda been somebody!" Like Al Gore invented the internet, it appears that Jack invented the environmental movement.

  6. Speaking of electricity, Jack advised Edison every step of the way and was the brains behind all of his inventions. Here's proof of that:
