Phil, Bill wrote that sooo long ago that cpmputers
have changed. I am sure he trusted those he gave it
to to see it through. That person was Parker Turner.
He died in 1991. He was involved with the NACD
quite heavily, and gave it to them as a chapter of the
manual. As I said, Mount was training director, and was
Adamantly opposed to this chapter, as it is the antithesis
off what he teaches. - George

Amen to this posting, and the response. I really do not know enough
about the debate to make any sort of an informed comment on the
actions
taken by any of the principles. But I do respect George's postings
on
this topic, and any help that he could give to those of us who might
want to study this craft more closely would be deeply appreciated.
That last sentence is meant as a respectful request: one that I hope,
but do not necessarily expect, to see fulfilled. I know, from
experience,
that organizing information about any sort of skill into a format
that
would permit distribution over a network would take time. I teach
for a
living, and it often takes me much longer to write coherent prose
than
I'd prefer. I would also guess that the WKPP is a real time-sink:
one
that leaves participants exhausted at the end of a typical day.
At the very least, George's postings have reminded me about the need
to
be cautious when selecting one's teachers--regardless of their
supposed
credentials.
One other stupid question. The discussion on (Gavin's?) suppressed
chapter on equipment configurations implied--as I recall--that Mount
(and the NACD?)was sitting on the *only* existing copy of that
manuscript. How could anyone who writes *anything* that amounts to a
thirty-page manuscript in this day and age *not* make a backup copy
of
that MS--especially a person who depends on redundancy to carry him
through other major activities?
