My god, Jules, but you'll publish a book which perpetuates the unfounded assertion that 
he's an anti-semite???  Christ, come the fuck up for air once in a while.  Whatever your 
reasons were for changing your mind, either tell us, or don't.  Personally I think the less 
said on this stupid thread the better, so I am happy you changed your mind.  But please, 
the implied disrespect to your co-authors and others of straightfacedly offering this 
*reason*--oof-- now I've broken out of my shell again, and I don't want to do that, but 
man, give people's BS meters a little credit.  After all, we're as smart as the denizens of a 
New York cocktail party!!
