I think that the commercial authors are willing to talk about things if you ask. I have emailed Cristophe and Amir in the past and they have been kind enough to answer my questions. While I do think that they are keeping some secrets, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. If they worked hard to learn those secrets, then they have the right to keep those secrets. I think it's fun when a commercial author gives a little hint about what they do. I think it's fun to try and figure out what their secret is. I probably never figure it out, but I get a lot of good ideas while I think about it. Russell
