Sam, is this a new collection of updated columns or the one some of us
purchased some years ago?

I would buy either, since my old copies fell apart some years ago and
are preserved in a loose-leaf notebook, but more description of the
product would be nice.

I believe that you are probably referring to the 8.5 x 11 bound
photocopies of his old columns. These are referred to as the "Gray
Book" and the "Green Book".

Benko used to sell these at his lectures which is probably where you
obtained yours.

Unfortunately, Benko sold out of these several years ago and the man
who made them for him has changed jobs and lacks the capacity to make
any more.

My book just printed today is re-formatted into a 6x9 book plus it has
a table of contents and an index which the Gray Book and the Green
Book did not have. The Gray Book covered the years 1981 to 1990 so
every column in my book is also in the Gray Book but I feel that you
will find my book to be much more useful because it will fit on a
normal bookshelf and it is better bound, has a much better cover, has
a brief biography and pictures of Benko, has a table of contents and
an index and will not fall apart over time as you report has happened
to your copy of the Gray Book.

Point #1:

I defended Louis Blairs censureship of Sams postings on WIkipedia..

Point#2:

I questioned SLoansactions and HIPPA and EEOC violations leading him
to be censured and pubically reprimanded by the board.

Point#3:

I questioned SLoan about the material on his website and pointed out
how tastless and offensive it is to many people and degrading to women
and children.

Sloan then banned me from posting in his newsgroup yet he still sends
me emails from his newsgroup! I have requested he cease many times. If
I get any more solicitations from his group without an opportunity to
respond I will contact YAHOO and begim actions to having his group
disolved.

Below is the latest email from his group.
