I would be most interested to know what "ulterior motives" you have in mind.

I don't make a penny on the sales of this book...I was paid in front for my help. I am simply trying to help a friend/student promote his book, and I am doing it openly and in a fun way to let people know about the book.

When Ed Rosenblum wrote his book, and when Bob Wachtel wrote his, and when Nack and Paul wrote theirs, and when Walter wrote his, I gave copies of their books away as prizes at my lectures and helped promote their books as well. I had no financial stakes in any of those books.

So please, back up your accusation with some facts or apologize. When people shoot off their mouth (and fingers) with no facts and nothing but a personal agenda or viciousness of their own, they just don't realize how unfair that is or what kind of harm they can do to people, and the game. This is a perfect example.
