Re: Semi Bragging and a $200 Reward
[ QUOTE ]
I'll be sending my self-addressed, stamped envelope today before Sklansky decides to recind his kind offer. Is it possible, David, that you could autograph my book? [/ QUOTE ] LOL I was thinking the same thing.

Re: Semi Bragging and a $200 Reward
"No, I did not cross-reference authors with physical addresses to make sure they were all located within the US. I was thinking that fell under the "accuracy isn't important, it won't even be close" department. I think it's clear that even if Lippmann doesn't quite cut it, it's close enough to win"
My reward was for someone refuting the claim. Not for coming close. My accuracy comment wasn't related to the award. I'm 90% sure Lipmann doesn't surpass Sklansky. If it does and you go to enough lengths to prove it to the satisfaction of the people on this forum, you get $300.

Re: Semi Bragging and a $200 Reward
162 Rotrucks (rhymes with Tow-truck) via the Whitepages search. One of them is my ex-wife who no longer carries the last name but is still listed for some reason.
Only 2 published authors on Amazon (both with 2 each). And one of those was just a genealogy of the Rothrock/Rotruck name. Oh well. My Dad would probably qualify as well though as he has had articles published in various scientific magazines. Kind of interesting to look into though. I'm just returning from Keyser, West Virginia where we visited my 90-year-old grandmohter and where most of the rotrucks originally hail. I just learned that there are 6 Robert Rotrucks out there (including me) which is news to me.

Re: Case Closed
A more impressive list:
168 listings matching "Jowett, United States" 23 non-published listings (more info at Intelius) Amazon author list: Lorna Jowett Benjamin Jowett Philip Jowett Garth S. Jowett George F Jowett Garth S. Jowett Simon Jowett Nigel I. Jowett M. Jowett (economics) Trevor Jowett John Henry Jowett C. E Jowett Jonathan Jowett F. M Jowett Paul Jowett Sandra Jowett Jack Jowett Margaret Jowett Alan Jowett A. P. Jowett F. W Jowett Peter Jowett Nick Jowett Andy Jowett Joseph Jowett Evelyn M Jowett Valerie Jowett Hooper Albert Dickinson Jowett Frederick William Jowett William Jowett Samuel Jowett Ferguson Marshall Jowett P. D Jowett A. J Jowet Albert Jowett Mary W. Jowett 36 authors Total: (168 + 23) * 1.5 = 286.5 % = 12.5% I probably undercounted eliminating those with exact names, but probably two seperate people since the subject matter were quite different.
