hi Charles, i have read many of your excellent posts here, so please
don't get the wrong impression of me, just to try and validate why i
responded to the spam accusation. IMO those books are all sys admin
related, and i can see the need for some of those in most work places
of mixed environments - i am definitely an exchange newb. perhaps he
should not post that here... perhaps those books are ones that the OP
does not want any more and would rather not waste half a rain forest.

yes this is quite a strong point. anyway, i'll not stick up for such
book sales in the future. maybe that sort of thing should be reserved
for the amazon's 'used' section.
