They called round to my house when they were initially pitching their book 
- yes, they were getting stuff from the list and the net, but they weren't 
really "netizens" per se, so don't expect many emails from them. :-)

They were also talking to a load of people who weren't involved here. For 
example: one man they'd talked to was convinced it was a hoax by Edward 
Kelly (and had put together some evidence from the British Library to 
support his argument) - and, IIRC, another lady was convinced it was 
written in a kind of mirrored High German. Maybe... and maybe not.

I don't know how Gerry & Rob's final pitch ended up - it was changing daily 
back then, as most non-fiction books seem to do en route - but wish them 
luck with it. :-)

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
