I think you are slightly overreacting. As far as I can see, Mary pointed us at a book that may be interesting for OOo people. She just happened to be the author. > In conclusion, I see that you and maybe some others think that by > abusing the OOo mailings lists for a personal profit is okay, I do > not. I may be too optimistic, but I believe in people's good intentions first. If she had spammed 500 mailing lists with this, or had she posted this message for days in a row, I would tend to agree with you. There's a new book on OOo, and Mary pointed us at it. I see no problem with that. Why not ask Mary for a copy, and post a review? And do not forget that when you buy a book, there's _mutual_ benefit. The author gets (a tiny amount of) money. You get a book with valuable information. -- Johan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
