Scope and content
Has decided that the next Preface to Crockford's should be written by somebody else. Believes that JSB could approach many 'difficult and controversial subjects' but suggests that his position has become 'uncomfortable', with many people now knowing his identity. Discusses possible ways to handle the writing of the Preface in the future.
