John are you calling me a liar. Here is proof, I'm not. I think
you owe me an apology.

I figured out Tristan Jones was a bull****ter long ago. You can
check my Amazon.Com review of 7 Aug 2000.

What you posted originally:

"That was when I realized, Jones was starving and desperately trying
to impress his uninformed editors enough to get published, so he
could eat. He was not writing worthwhile books."

You didn't indicate that you knew Jones was a fraud. There are a lot of
authors out there desperately trying to get published, most of them probably
aren't frauds, though some of them probably don't have anything worthwhile
to say.

What I posted originally:

"Of course you must have read by now that Tristan was a fraud, his entire
life story was a work of fiction, even his name."

I thought it worth mentioning since you didn't. I can't honestly comment on
any of Jones' books as I have never read any of them, he was a little before
my time.
Probably the only reason I recall any of it was the Dalton book was
mentioned by the skipper on the Atlantic crossing, a published author, who
happened to read the book and mentioned it was a good read, and I recall
vaguely a review published in "Sailing" when the Dalton book was released.
