Amazing! togwt has probably forgotten more about detailing than I will ever know! Thank you for posting this!
I agree with Ken. This issue ran its course. It would be childish to keep flaming the subject...There is a fine line between 'whistle blower' and 'lynch mob'...
The following series of 135 articles; i Articles “The Art and Science of Detailing” will soon be made available on Amazon Kindle, Apple iBookstore and Google eBooks electronic reader systems and represent the most comprehensive, in-depth information on detailing available anywhere.

Actually what happens specifically, is I click on an article , it pulls up, but none of the actual article is displayed. But what's weird is that everything else shows.
