Well, KM not everyone is as knowledgeable as you about the practices of these people. Before I posted it, I went to the website to check them out. I typed "Perl" into their search box and up came Simon Cozen's book, which to me lent credence to them as a company.

Also, having seen their books in other non-Perl venues, I continued to see this lady's actions as legit, albeit unsolicited.

Regarding your statement The only thing to meditate on here is why you felt the need to post this here. If I could delete this, I would. I can't see that as wise --- you have shared quite a bit of information that I am sure is new not just to me. Now we are all in the know about the scam this place is running and I, as well as anyone that reads this post, will be all the wiser for wealth of information you have shared.
