Hi Michael - Yes, the AP did get in touch with me and we spoke about the Houben case, but I haven't seen anything about it since then (it's possible that it's appeared somewhere, but if so I haven't seen it). .....Scott

Yes, I saw the "mini-myths" in the book - wedged in between the chapters. Looks like you've got enough for a volume 2 here. By the way, you mentioned in a previous TIPS post that the Associated Press had contacted you about Rom Houben and the possible facilitated communication issue. Any follow-up on that?
