Actually you're making a mistake there:
Maybe 100 people took a look at Wook's book, but a lot more than 100 people
were pissed off at yet another Commercial post.
Next time use the "announce" NG.
Always ask youself...so if 2 billion people did what I'm about to do,
will it make a big stink? Most times the answer is: a huge stink.
Cheers.
