Maybe you should offer to send free copies to people ... or quote from your book, instead of just referring to it. I've seen two references to this book ... two attempts to pander it, to pimp it, to sell it, to drum up orders for it ... but I don's see you, Ted, contributing any expertise. Just sales advertisements. Maybe I'm wrong ... maybe you've offered help, quoted copiously from the book, time and again. Maybe there are entire chapters posted somewhere where people can read them, and use them, without lining your pockets. If I am, I'm sure others - not you, Ted - will inform me. And I will duly apologize. But so far you seem indistinguishable from any other parasite whom has latched upon another's free software as a way to make money. ... So, distinguish yourself. Post some free material. Quit pandering. Answer some questions or go away. Quit pushing your pathetic book. Where did you get your information? From the net ... for free ... of course.
