r6

This is NOT a spoiler...

I have been reading this newsgroups for the last couple of weeks and I
need to insert my commentary here.

I have just started R6 this morning and I have already caught onto to
the typos. I have to wonder why. In this day of computers and the
like, I cannot even type an email without it correcting it as I type. I
have to assume that TC uses a good word processor to type his book on.

What I cannot figure out is why this would be allowed to go into press
with the errors in the book? Why would a huge publisher even let this
slip by, let alone TC? I can understand the fact the TC is going
through a divorce and that may have played a role in the quality of the
book, although I am not prepared to make that call as of yet.

One thing that I did notice, that was different in R6, was the
following:

The Copyright. In all of the other Ryan books (I still call R6 a Ryan
book given the characters) the copyright was the following:

(c) 1988, Jack Ryan Enterprises

Now, in R6, it reads:

(c) 1998, by Rubicon, Inc.

Is anyone as confused about this?

In this day of computers it is still possible for foxtrot uniforms to
occur, as was the case in your posting this four times in two separate
threads.

You understand that TC is going through a divorce, yet you don't
understand why TC would change the copyrighting corporation?

Sigh.

My apologies about the multiple posts of my original message - I was having
some problems with my mail client on my end.

I do understand the copyright corporation - what I do not understand is how so
many errors could've gotten by without being caught.--
