It counts for your karma, but not for my matching challenge. > It's only a half-review, actually, and it's for the month of January, > and I'm not sure who counts as a Kplugger. > Anyone who wants to be is a kplugger (at least, it always used to be that way -- our relationship w/ SDCS has, I believe, evolved, so that may only be half true now).

If you want to write a review of the latest Elmore Leonard, have at it, but it has nothing to do with my matching challenge. On the other hand, I will not demand that reviewers have won the books they review at a kplug raffle. But please, don't review anything you haven't read. And yes, O'Reilly computer books are the only reviews I'll match. New reviews, written and submitted in February 2005. We owe O'Reilly big, and we're way behind in living up to our end of the free book bargain. I'm trying to stimulate some action (in myself as well as others). For background, I'm a kind of annoying member of this list, so I figured it would be irrestible for people to have a chance to load me down with work. -- Lan Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Guy, SCM Specialist 858-354-0616 -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
