JKDan,
In some respects I agree. However, the original post was not a post "about" a book written by one of our contributors, it was a post about purchasing a book written by one of our contributors. If it had originally been posted on bst and then someone other than Hal had started a thread about how good the book was, I would agree fully with your statement. Also, IMO, this particular thread never should have been a separate thread even if there was no problem with the initial post.
Also, please understand, I have nothing against Hal and have always had positive dealings with Hal. I would have the same complaint regardless of who started the thread and what was being offered.
