Wow!...  I mean, just, wow!....  I didn't realize that discovering
that I did indeed write several books was going to anger you so much,
but remember, it was you that wanted documentation. 

I was perfectly happy just saying I enjoyed writing.

At the very least, you now know what real documentation is.

As is usually the case with insignificant little fizzles like you,
your petty insults say much more about you, than about me. 

At any rate, your opinions of me and what I do are of no concern to me
and I have no interest in arguing with you about them.
