I don't think any harm was intended by asking the question, overall I think asking questions are good. I was actually quite pleased that no one jumped down his (or my) throat and just posed the question without making this an attack.

Why is it that Christian's are so quick to attack other Christian's?

While TN had not seen nor copied the Cultivate logo, they are changing the cover at John's request. I hope you are as quick to post this positive step as you were to post the negative.

I have posted my phone number so that if anyone has a question they can contact me directly. I am John's assistant.
