Thanks for clearing that up Xue Lan. I guess I am a little naive when it comes to those kinds of tactics. I know a lot of people have big egos but I didn't think too many would go to those measures to get noticed.

I have always searched for the good stories, both here and offline, and I know a lot of other people don't do that and are happy with what is thrust before them but I somehow hoped a lot of other people were like me. I am constantly haunting second hand bookstores for titles I am after - books that have been out of print for twenty years but considered classics by those in the industry.

I must also admit to not checking the date on which posts are made. Maybe I should in future.
