Dear Mr. F–,
Thank you for the informative e-mail. However, I do not feel it is neccessary to
go back and address a statement I wrote in June because, frankly, I still stand
by my inital assessment that the reason the book is being published in English is
because HK Comics wants some of the very lucrative “DaVinci Code” money to be
spent on their products. Honestly, they would be foolish not to, given what an
obscenely bloated cash-cow the book has become.
As for your concerns that my statement was “dismissive,” well, yes, it was
supposed to be. It was what some people call “a joke.” Perhaps you have heard of
them?
Again, thank you for your e-mail. In the future, however, it might be in your
best interest to simply not read my site, for fear that it might once again
inadvertantly offend you.
Thank you again,
Dorian
(I get, on average, about one of these a week. Usually I just ignore them. But I’m in a lousy mood and this guy was the lucky one who pissed me off enough to not only get a response, but get it posted here.)
