Hi gang. one of the points in 'publication, publication' is to do as much
work as you can yourself before contacting the author for more
information. pls try to do this.
the strange thing about having published my handout is that many of the
people you contact have read my handout. 2 of them actually contacted me
and asked whether they should provide the info some of you asked for (both
were nice about it and I told them to deal with you all like any other
such request).
the advantage for you in following the advice is that there is only so
much patience any author will have with those asking for advice. so you
want to reserve the finite good will they have for your really hard
questions that you can't answer on your own.
In any event, no problem, but read that article again!
Gary
