If I feel there is a source of information that could prove useful to someone's work, I'll advertise it to that person. It doesn't matter to me if it it a free FAQ on a web site or a guide available in a bookstore. It's a source of information and information is something to be shared freely on the Internet. In other words, what the spirit of this listserv is about. I have Michael's book. It is useful in the understanding of virtual pages in the work I am doing. I felt that person asking could benefit from his experience. It's not anything different than what happened to me a few months back when I asked the author of an Assembler support web page for some example code. I am not as fluent in Assembler as I am in other langauges so I asked for help. He recommended an Assembler intro book available in any Coles bookstore that was chock full of example code. I didn't feel slighted by being pointed to a commercial source of information. Instead, I promptly purchased the book. The author of that web page later received a large collection of web page wallpaper images as my expression of thanks for his assistance. However, if anyone thought I was trying to promote a corporate theme in this listserv, please accept my apologies, as this was not the case.
