I think you've got hold of the wrong end of the stick.
I came across the details of Ruth Blakely's book on the website of her
publishers, thought it might be of interest to people, and posted the
details.
I think Leanne Burroughs was responding to my message, but because of the
way it was laid out misread it as an announcement from the author.
Not that I think there would have been anything wrong with that. Of course,
no one wants to see the newsgroup filled with gratuitous advertising, but as
far as I'm concerned, discreet announcements of relevant new scholarly works
are welcome.
