O'Reilly ads

[Jerry Callen]

Is someone forwarding O'Reilly ads to the list? If so, I'd appreciate
it if this would stop. I get entirely enough spam as it is without
also getting it on this mailing list.

Here's the mail I got when I asked O'Reilly to cease and desist:

   I send out announcements to User Group directors about our new
   books and software. They are encouraged to request review copies
   for reviews. Sometimes they post to their own mailing lists.
   
   I think what happened here was that someone with access to the
   mailing list you are on posted my announcement to it.  You may want
   to contact the moderator and let them know you don't want any more
   of O'Reilly's book announcements.
