Unbelievable offers on computer books !!
Not a technical thread: the original post was off-topic spam advertising a computer-book website, cross-posted to several newsgroups. The follow-ups are purely about netiquette — one reader flagged it as spam while quoting it in full, another criticised him for re-propagating the spam instead of trimming the quote, and this turned into a brief flame exchange. A later poster who mentioned a rival bookseller was reported to his ISP's abuse address and publicly apologised. No Informix or other technical problem is discussed, and there is nothing to resolve.
