This discussion is still going? My god, what did I start!

Okay, I agree that anything that goes to the newsgroups should be in
straight
text, however I don't believe that it will stay that way. HTML is becoming
or
has already become the standard. For now, it is simple courtesy to
everybody that we post in text only, and I regret that I didn't before.

However, there are plenty of good HTML news readers on the market right
now,
a lot of them are free, and if you don't have one, I firmly believe you
should
get one. HTML is here whether you like it or not.

A lot of you took an interest in the sale, and we all thank you very much.
I hope you enjoy your books. There will be more sales in the future,
from time to time as we decide we have to clear old stock that isn't
selling.

For those who missed out, we still have our complete Mystery section,
including new titles, marked down by 50%. We want them gone, because
we are getting out of the Mystery market and we need those shelves back.

Some of the marked down hardcover and softcover titles are remaining,
along with clothing, stuffed lions and bears, and anything else that needs
to move. so
we are keeping them marked down and moved them to the back to make
way for the new shipments.

Thanks :)
