Are two book seller links and a book review/article enough to foster a discussion? This concerns thread #31772.
If you actually read the FPP links, you will find they contain the text of the book. The first contains the first chapter, the second contains the entire book. That is why they are linked to, not because they are book sellers. This was allready dicussed in the thread.

mcsweetie, I don't agree with you. clav's an interesting member of this community, and he has been for the last couple of days too. and this very thread's topic is important too -- whate are the limits of MeFi's BookFilter etiquette? (me, if the book is interesting enough, I'm ready to forgive almost anything)

why wouldn't people post about books, especially if the full text is available online?

Sorry, matteo, but this is another raising of a pointless MetaTalk question not worth the asking--something which has been all too common of late.
And look what scintillating commentary it provoked--you get yet another "." and another crap Hey, guys, look at my dull witted photoshop skills gif. B-o-ring.

Enjoy this sarcastic, yet cleverly scintillatting inevitability.

It's outrageous. No, really.

stbalbach, wow, one chapter, and i do not see the second contains the entire book, I assume it is the Amazon link? I may have overlooked it but it seems all one gets is the table of contents which is not the whole book which means you either lie or i do not see the complete text for link 2.
so the idiot squad can ring in here and toss me a link to this second text.
besides, it was a question, a valid one at that.
McSweetie, you got a problem, because if you do, i don't Care. If you want, mIRC thunderdome baby, name the time and I will WIPE you up sweetiecakes.
but this is another raising of a pointless MetaTalk question not worth the asking--something which has been all too common of late.
well, tell you what. You dont post ,I wont post say....6 months, you have the courage for that, you have the will to do that. Of course not, you need to push your anger-riddled agenda, so of course you would not.
again, where is the text in this 2nd link.

Thanks for once again elevating the level of discourse, Mr. Personal Invective Hurling Man. Talk about an anger management problem....

stalbach perhaps meant this--the Search inside this book feature which Amazon has adopted. It's not exactly linking the whole text of the book, let it be noted.
mcsweetie most likely was referring to your namecalling and insult hurling spree that started here, I believe.

Yay, incomprehensible geek threats! That's outstanding. You guys have no idea how much fun it is trying to explain shit like this to people who don't spend their lives chained to computers.
