I owe nothing whatsoever to the vendor. I don't even know their names.  
They carry a huge selection of strictly programming and technical  
books, the largest I have ever seen in one location. Since this is a  
technical group, my goal was to pass on to the group a great place I  
had found, a place that perhaps they could benefit from.

I have received great benefit from this forum, particularly the people  
that give so much of their time to less experienced people like  
myself, and have given little, or nothing in return.

I saw this as a gesture to help the group, not to help any vendor.  If  
you took it other than the way it was intended, I sincerely apologize.

Most of the time I tend to repeat myself, ramble, make typos, usually  
because I type fast and poorly, and don't proof read to boot. It is  
later when I see the message as it returns,that I usually spot some  
huge grammar error. At that point I wish I could recall the message,  
but it's too late. It was not a well worded message, and I sent it, I  
looked for the recall button, but couldn't find it.

It was however, sincerely meant as gesture of thanks. Sorry, you read  
something into it, that it was not...
