I understand where you are coming from. Unless I'm way off and this whole this was (as you say) an overwritten jsp, it's not fair for the reader or the author that there are pages with bad information and/or links on them. I mean, what's the author supposed to say....."the preview is no longer free"???? That's only going to piss off people. And that's the last thing you want to do is piss off your audience....especially with a book on such a specific topic. > there would surely have just been a list... no hyperlinks ..no > instructions to download it ... > > Also i have enquired at bookstore in my local area ...Chuck's book has not > reached the book stores yet!!! > > I gather... u have been a very sincere, honest and dedicated s/w > professional ...but does ur innate humanity not gives you all the more > reasons to trust others too??? My message was not intended to be personal. I'm sorry if it came off that way. In fact, I had put "don't take this personally" before sending, but decided to delete it because it is such an over-used phrase to hide vindictive comments. > Thanks and Regards > Shalu James "I can't believe he didn't pick Brook!!!"
