i just have a quick question. I'll quote a section of the e-mail:
Quote:
When we reprinted this chapter from the RWFL manual into the Warp Speed Fat Loss product, the above paragraph was inadvertently omitted.
This oversight was rectified immediately when this was brought to my attention.
I want to reiterate that this was always listed as a summary of your chapter - never passed off as my work.
The fact that the acknowledging paragraph was not included in WSFL was a huge oversight on my part, and I would have corrected it and rectified it with anyone who had purchased it immediately had you or anyone else simply brought this to my attention. I am deeply sorry about that omission. It was not my intention to not give proper credit, but it was my responsibility and I failed in that, and I want to make it publicly known that I fault no one but myself for that error.
I would be happy to speak with you about this further if you want to give me a call.

isn't this basically contradicting what he said previously?
Also, while the e-mail sounds very professional, it is not Lyle's responsibility to check into sources and make sure they do what is "proper citations" in any scholarly journal, and wasn't his responsibility to bring it to his attention.
I have no personal vendetta against AW or MR, but i find it hard to justify using word for word similarities in the text. They teach us this stuff throughout grade school, high school and college. You take the information, and you put it into your own words.
I know in apa style, we put the author's name and date of publication in ( ) after the information that you're using.
Even if AW/MR forgot to properly cite Lyle at the start, or the end of the book, you would think that you could give credit
in the text where credit is due.
