Blackwells has an active program soliciting these projects. The editor named in the story, Rebecca Harkin, was in charge of soliciting such projects from academics.
You said that Kurian said he initiated it. I asked for your evidence. The evidence you provided says no such thing. Then you started in with “well but . . . “ and offered single-volume monographs as your basis. Those are apples compared to encyclopedia oranges.
But you won’t let go of it.
Okay,I give up.
No, you are too stubborn to try and understand what I was saying. An example of just such scenario is the Bible translation employer worked on with several academics. They approached a publisher and pitched the idea. I was simply trying to get you to understand that his situation was different than my own, which you kept trying to say I was using as an example. I used it to describe what I was talking about, but later explained the difference between myself and the gentleman I’m referring to. You have an ego so huge, you can’t fathom that things don’t work just as you’ve seen them work. They do in fact at times work just as Kurian described, therefor it is POSSIBLE that he is not lying. THat was my only point. Your ego won’t let you admit that thought, so pout of and be right. Arrogant people drive me nuts.
