Bill, I'm starting to get a feeling about this DIVEREC@ao*.co* guy.
He seems unduly provocative for an author or publisher who's
trying to get a book project up.

I got this from him:

If this guy is "unable to ascertain" whether Bill Stone and his 
publicity/spin team wants to be in a book about amazing feats, then
you've got to wonder about his ability to actually put such a book 
together.

I wrote him this:

Now all he has to do is get off his ass and do his job. Unless this
is just a wind-up. Anyone know this Eric Carter character?
