I'm assuming the book being written isn't a follow-up to "How to Win Friends
and Influence People"?

Rick's raising fair points that a number of us may be thinking (I am), and
you're resorting to use of the word "muppet" in a sentence without "Jim
Henson" to back up your case. I fear you are only backing up Rick's points,
though as we haven't had a good flaming here for some time, it's making for
interesting reading in the pauses between doing work for people that pay and
are willing to listen to other people's suggestions. These people are also
highly unlikely to use "Shit hot" in the request for work when "Experienced"
would have sounded more professional and perhaps got more than 2 responses.

Before you take offence at all that, I mean none. I would suggest with the
best intentions that following teaching your students at the University of
Westminster you ask a teacher of business, in any form, if "muppet" is a
suitable term to be used in a professional discussion.

Learn from this experience, and good luck to you with this and future
ventures.

Best regards,

Iain
