Anyway, I am sorry for laughing. I'll try to keep a more rational stance next time.
I assume your books are good, and I'll probably buy your D book when it's finished. I like books, and if you need proof readers before the publishing I (and probably others here) may help. When Alex Martelli has written the Python cookbook books has asked for similar help to us, to me too.
