Here in comp.os.os2.marketplace, fdrennon@pobox.com (Floyd Drennon)
spake unto us, saying:

>You guys are really a hoot.  Instead of being grateful that they picked

>want to crucify them for making a business decision that it isn't
>economically feasible to publish another one.  Talk about OS/2 zealots

I was grateful, Floyd.  I gave them my $$ for the previous two editions
that they published, and was willing to reward them with $$ for the next
one.  That's the nature of business, and I gave them the kind of thanks
that they understand.  The last couple of editions of that book were
both international bestsellers because of people like us.

How my acting human and being upset over their decision makes me some
kind of operating system "zealot" is beyond me.  I'm *not* a business
entity, and the fact that I am a little miffed about their decision to
pull the book doesn't have a DAMN thing to do with the specific subject
matter of the book (OS/2) at all!!!

I'm upset about it because it was one of the books I was most looking
forward to purchasing and using, and not being able to have a copy is a
loss.  Period.  I happen to actually *LIKE* things from time to time,
and it bothers me when things that I like go away.  Particularly when
the thing in question disappears suddenly and at the last minute when
I wasn't expecting it.

I thought it was selling quite well.  Guess I was wrong.  :-(
