as some would expect, i am against any links to a bookstore. even if it's a "good" bookstore, who's to decide?

the idea of commercial links in general does not bother me greatly, since use to a publisher's or commercial author's site can be useful. but i overt oppose salesmanship on free forums. in my opinion, peddling here is as classless as the telemarketers who (used to) call me and requesting silly things.

other people have said it's OK because you can just take the title/ISBN number and do what you want with it. i say, in that case, the poster should simply display the title and ISBN number directly, without the commercial element.

OOOOHHH, yeah. i love when my peurile, moronic posts get those well-deserved negative votes. i'm sure it was a knee-jerk^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H really well thought-out choice on the voter's part. i adore my superiorly enlightened fellow travellers.

please read the Voting / Experience System node, and learn not to vote down opinions you simply disagree with (not that that node says anything like that, but it should).
