That's disappointing to hear. But if the book has been destroyed, then that's that.
I apologize for dredging up bad memories.
More importantly, I'm glad to hear you were able to leave negative experiences in the past and publish a book on a subject that you seem quite passionate about.
You're a remarkable individual in many ways.

CSMs are fascinating machines. Because of you, I spent several hours learning about them.
I'd love to try my hand at them. But that will have to wait. They seem to have quite the learning curve, and I've got other projects already waiting in line.

Thank you kindly for responding to my request, and I hope your knees recover.
