[LM_NET] SHARE: (updated) Total Constant Order by Crissa-Jean Chappell

["Ronda Y. Foust" <rfoust150@COMCAST.NET>]

With apologies to Crissa, apparently the "h" that is also not in my  
name ended up trying to work its way into HER name in my recent post  
about her upcoming book.  Also note that the book is actually  
scheduled for release on October 23rd.  I am copying the corrected  
version here.  Congratulations Crissa-Jean!!!
