Author hopes Readers will understand that it is the intent of this policy to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings when work done by his staff might seem to others to bee similar to their own creative work. Accordingly, he must, regretfully, ask that Readers not send him any original creative materials such as artwork, images, animated files, or sounds. While he values Readers' feedback and suggestions, he requests that all Readers be specific in their comments, and do not submit any creative ideas, suggestions or materials.
