Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

That was simply my point. I don't understand the "I know something you don't know, or I'll release it when I think the time is right" mentality.
No work is ever really finished, and previously unknown or new information is uncovered and turns up all of the time. This is why books are revised, and new editions are published.
Maybe an idea could be The Parker Story Volume 3?
I actually worked with a guy once who made the comment - "Books are BS. I haven't read one since high school."
He got no argument from me on his reading them part.

Books certainly are NOT “BS” but the information in them becomes outdated, revised and sometimes even becomes obsolete.
The information in TPS is the best we could have ever hoped for at the time of publication… (See my statement above.) And certain parts of it have been expanded on here on the forum. There were errata sheets published but as of today another small volume of information that isn’t found in TPS could be published as an addendum.
