Feel free to leave Ruth's references in the book sections and not on every email where someone's asking a question. Ruth, you already have your URL in your signature - I think what might drive people to your site is to help them instead of just taking them off of the mailing list to go check out your goods. You are helpful - and there are many other less lazy ways to generate a buzz about how helpful you can be. It wouldn't be particularly cool for me to just respond to everyone's questions with, "I can help you over here -> mydomain.com" - now would it?
