I doubt that even more now. Either this
is an honest misunderstanding or a vicious
instance of identity theft. Now, I am not
going to repeat the list of suspicioius
elements regarding that ad (most especially
suspicious now that we are asked to
believe that it emanated from a "well
known figure in UK book circles." He
has not responded with a clarification
and he in fact now seems to be on the
run, at least as far with dealing with
the points I made about that post.
Since the post did not come from
Denmark, I perhaps should not quote
that "something is rotten in the state
of Denmark," but, if I am not
mistaken I think he comes from an
area once covered by the Danelaw,
so possibly the quote is not so much
of a stretch. But I am musing...
Anyway, I begin to suspect that we
will hear no more from this entity...

Excuse me. I was supporting your case.
