Hello Y'all, I found it interesting to see what stories Crawford Killian and Tom Maddox had written. I felt it was nice to see what they had published. Partly because when I see someone's name here on the net I wonder whether they are actually published and what their books actually read like. Soon after the posts of works by Crawford Killian and Tom Maddox I looked up their books at a local bookstore out of curiosity... I didn't buy them, probably won't unless I find out more than just hearing about the author here. (Usually for me by reading a borrowed book from a friend/library... If I'm going to buy a book on my meager college money, it had better be good) But my curiosity was satisfied <grin>. I would soon have a kill file if corporations, or a similar organization actively advertised their books. To me the announcement of books published is great, but I would not want to get flooded. My time is precious, I want my time to be well spent... advertisements are not time well spent. (neither is this <grin>). I didn't feel Crawford Killian or Tom Maddox were advertising, that I believe is the difference in what they did, and why I feel that their posts were fine and dandy with me... of course what does my opinion matter <grin>. Fritz
