Readers: The zeros keep appearing
Barry Vacker, February 2009

Since the publication of Zero Conditions in 2008, readers of the book have identified many new "zero conditions" that echo and reinforce the theories of the book. Some of these I overlooked, while others have recently appeared.

The book will go through its second printing soon, so I may add a brief introduction to integrate these zeros into the themes of the book. Until then, I offer my thanks to readers who have added support to the ideas in this book series. If you come across another zero condition or vanishing point, please let me know.
