are you talking to me?

because i reviewed the posts, and i could see any place
where what i said could be accurately described as being
"patronising"...

(for those people who want to review the thread yourself,
the subject was "getting involved", from december of 2009,
commencing on december 14, one year and one day ago.)

on the 26th of december, i asked you some hard questions,
john, and you never responded...  oh well, such is life, eh?

and, from the vantage point of a year later, you're merely
another xml/tei "true believer" who came -- and went --
without doing anything...  and now here you come again...

oh do you now?  then how about some feedback on this:

that was auto-generated from this:

and here's the .html that was auto-generated:

i'd also be willing to give feedback on your ivanhoe stuff.
if you want any, that is.  are you tough enough to take it?

the links above take you to my versions of the new book
by cory doctorow.  cory used sisu to create his e-versions,
so you can go to his site and get the output created by sisu,
and compare it to mine.  i believe most people will like mine.
sisu is also more difficult when it comes to creating the master.
which isn't to say that sisu is a bad system.  it's just not the best.
but you don't have to trust me...  go and take a look for yourself,
and then come back here and discuss your findings with me.  ok?
