Oh please! You bragged by showing a link to several books you claim to 
have written and "self published" - books that sold too little to stay 
on the market.

Plenty have paid attention to Forester and his ideas. His most famous 
book went through seven editions, most of them published by MIT Press. 
He was very influential, even though the dimmer idealists disagreed with 
him.

Nobody has paid attention to you.
