The question Ryan is not one of chilling and it is most certainly not one of being able to figure out your
email address. It is one of hypocrisy and learning living within the rules of etiquette.

You apparently don't see a contradiction in asking people not to spam you while spamming them. And
you apparently don't see a contradiction in asking people to do you a favour and purchase your books
while at the same time clearly communicating that you don't give a damn about them.

I an assure you none of my students will be buying your books. And I hope no one else here does either.

PS: An apology and repost would have taken fewer keystrokes and sold your books: Ponder that.
