In the above quoted paragraph Ms. Teather is undoubtedly referring to my criticism of the way the book was announced on museum-l. She should be advised that my remarks were not meant to register an opinion about the book, be it pro or con -- but, only to bring to the attention of museum-l readers the kind of self-serving promotional hype used in the announcement of this volume -- a tone contrary to the traditional style of this listserv. In this regard, I think my message was quite clear and not at all confusing, at least to those who bothered to read it carefully. There is a distinct difference between a confused reader and a confusing text. It should be obvious to all that I meant to shoot the messenger, not the message. -- Robert A.
