I didn't say I'd never buy another SAMS book, Floyd.  But it's a factor
in the equation.  All things being equal, SAMS titles will be considered
with a grain of salt for a little while when I go book shopping.

I'll probably be over it in a few weeks, tho, since I'm not that good
at holding grudges <grin>.  Nevertheless, right now I'm a little miffed
at the way SAMS apparently handled this situation.
