Re: \"Did you address that to donkey?\"

Just for completeness of the thread, I thought I'd let you know that Michael Mizrachi made the donkey comment.

I think part of the misunderstanding in the thread is that people think I am giving just an autographed copy of the book. What I actually do, is write a synopsis of the hand that I went broke on, so...
