November 4th update
Maurice "I-have-decided-to-cancel-all-work-involved-in-this-undertaking" Osborne, perpetrator of the Essence of the Notes scandal, has surfaced on some stupid, arrogant, Ufology forum, where he is promoting his dangerous untruths on Amazon.
"There is no question that I argued the accuracy of my transcriptions when it was discovered that I made only one mistake and all other points were the result of Wendelle Steven�s translations. Since then, all mistakes were corrected in the second edition of my book to the satisfaction of Meier�s group, but Michael continued to refuse to sell them." - Maurice Osborne, Ufology forum, October 28th, 2007
"I am convinced by your arguments concerning my project to provide a summary version of Steven's books. I now agree with you, that this endeavor would be worthless because of all the inaccuracies and omissions involved in the translations. So, I have decided to cancel all work involved in this undertaking." - Maurice Osborn, personal email to David Chance, August 11th, 2005
What was Maurice's "one mistake"? Deciding to write his book in the first place?

~ Corruptions of the truth and how they grow when you feed them ~
["NOTES", being the incomplete and faulty Sevens' translations of the 1975-1977 uncorrected contact notes]
When you produce a new piece of work merely from something which is incomplete and contains many little, and some big, errors it shouldn�t be any surprise that the result is something which paints an incomplete picture full of the original errors plus various additional errors due to the writer�s own further misunderstandings. This is how Maurice Osborn�s �The Essence of the Notes� has to be described and we state it here bluntly in an effort to thwart further confusions of the truth in anyone who may have, or get, a copy of this book.

A very enlightening update has been added to the email correspondence section, with the complete correspondence, which is briefly excerpted here:
