It doesn't surprise me Francois. I've been getting emails along the same line for years. Some of the books on here sold quite a few copies so there's obviously an audience for them.

It is a bit strange that the flat earth brigade are still so active though.

As for entertainment value, I reason that if the writers of these books are a fair target then those of their readers who pop up to defend them must surely also be. But as someone else said if we could turn idiocy into energy we could solve all the world's problems in an instant.

So Alfred... general comment here: how do you feel about all these crackpots coming out of the woodwork to defend the books you laugh at? Is this entertainment or just sad? Did you expect this at all? I find it quite bizarre, puzzling, and sad. But at the same time, it *is* entertaining, in a perverse sort of way.
