Results Never Quite What You Expect?, Bad luck? Options

I have heard a few stories about the Necronomicon causing bad luck. Does anybody have any stories like this? Mabey it is because the spirits in the book are not liked by other spirits, like the spirits of the goetia? I noticed that on Amazon they can be as cheap as $2...

Something I noticed from reading the replies...well, I noticed that there has been a wonderful repetition of a few of the meanings communicated in my post, and I suppose that's good and all, but what's lacking from the responses is additional beneficial material.

Now, I figured it would be fairly obvious to any intelligent person what to do, and what not to do after reading what I wrote, which is why I wrote it, but, for the sake of repetition, and for the sake of learning, let's focus in on a couple of key areas my fellow magicians.

For one, let's try clarity of Intent. Since this has been brought up I believe this gentleman would be best served by examples of HOW to clarify one's Intent. HOW to check one's purpose. And HOW not to f%*! one's self up in the process. These are skills a magician learns as he grows, and not something that lands out of the clear blue. This should be obvious to others...

Now, I was hoping that the person who asked the original question(s) would figure this, and other things out on thier own, since it's rather obvious they don't know, or they wouldn't have asked the type of question(s) asked.

Well, since we're answering questions and giving advice, let's get more specific. How might he clarify his intent in dealing with the Nec, or a certain operation with it, for one? Hmm? What process, if any, might he go through? More than just saying it then, show it. I'm curious how Simonomiconist outside of Ashnook do thier thing. I only say this because it's obvious that the point of my post was either missed, overlooked, or both. Interesting.
