- Go ahead and announce it. Unless it includes an 800 number or an order
- form I don't consider that commercialism nor do I find it objectionable. Seems
- like justifiable pride on the part of the author and encouragement for other
- readers of this group. If the group becomes cluttered with too many of these
- posts we can re-visit the topic, but it is not my impression that there is a
- plethora of published authors in the group.
- Just my opinion. E pluribus unum.
