    Irrelevant Full Disclosure

    "Anonymous" criticizes me for lack of "full disclosure"? OK.

    Although I think my comments stand on their own merits, here's my relationship to "Crashing the Gate" and Armstrong and Zuniga.

    I did design the cover of "Crashing the Gate". And I do occasional design work for Armstrong and Zuniga. Also, I'm quoted in that book as an grassroots activist.

    I don't think that the fact that I have done graphic design work for Markos and Jerome is particularly relevant. I'm an independent freelance designer and web developer.

    I have no financial interest in the book. Certainly no one has ever asked me to shill for the book. I'm not a paid publicist for the publisher nor an employee of an ad agency or any other entity that will profit or suffer from the its sales.

    My defense of the book was made on my own time, of my own impetus, and reflect my views.

    Ultimately, I don't support the premise of the book because I designed the cover.

    I designed the cover because I support the premise of the book.
