Your parania is flaring. My primary commnets were directed to you. > What we did was neither against the law, Never said they were, red herring boy. I said it was deceptive. Not transparent. Cutting cornors. Trying to obtrain an unequal playing field. Thats my point. >We simply deliberately concentrated sales by Chopra fans > into the first week or two of sales, rather than letting them buy > over a periodof months. HAHAHAHA. Yes. And thats deceptive. That you don't see any trace of deception is kind of scary. Or simply funny. > Since everyone was already going to buy a > book (I certainly didn't spend $20/copy without making sure that I > had someone waiting to pay me back), They had an interest in the book now. But were going to wait to buy the book in four months? hmmmm? how odd. ------------------------ Yahoo!
