"... newer joiners to our list may be unaware"

Oh come on George, isn't that the teensiest bit disingenuous? Are you really
only motivated by worry and concern that the hobbyist, happily taking sights
from his porch and obviously quite successfully reducing them, is likely to
become seriously lost and disoriented without your muddying the waters?
Again?

 "of certain criticisms of the tables ..."

Which have only ever come from one source, the same George Huxtable.
It sounds rather more as if you couldn't bear to hear not one, but two
people saying positive things about the book in question.
