My Friends,

We have about wrapped up the discussion on the controversies of Chapter Thirteen. Four of our members have been very vocal in pointing out that clarification is needed for a better understanding of it. I have thus made plans to do some editing to clarify after I finish writing Chapter Fourteen.

The question I have is how much clarification is necessary.

The trouble is that I have heard very little from the silent majority out there on this matter. Before I begin the editing I would like to hear from more of you to get a better idea of how much clarification is needed.

Please check one of the following and post with your comments.

( ) I think Chapter Thirteen is fine the way it is. It is obvious to me what the terms mean and what is being said in the chapter.
( ) I think the chapter is fairly clear but some editing and additions are needed for clarification. I do not think that major elaboration is necessary.
( ) The chapter was not as clear as it should be and does require some editing and additions. Terms need defined and some extra elaboration is necessary to make the meaning clear.
( ) The chapter was very unclear and ambiguous and needs a major rewrite to get your point across.
( ) None of these apply. Here is my take:

Whatever your answer is you are welcome to give additional comments below.

Thanks,
JJ
