I should perhaps add that it's very clear what Forester's big message
was. He, like you, insists that true bicycling enjoyment can only be
had by riding among vehicular traffic on streets and roads in the
course of one's usual transits. That some people choose otherwise
seemed to agitate him... and you.

I am reviewing a proof copy, and deciding what size the paperback
version should be. I'm not in a hurry to publish it. I do have other
interests.

Mostly likely because my book under that pen name hasn't been
published yet, but as I said, I have no expectations of significant
sales because I won't spend a penny on marketing. 

Given that I've already documented my claim about writing, bringing it
up only serves to remind everyone that unlike you, I can and do back
up what I say.
