Anyway, thanks for the mention in HOW - I did get to read a copy.

Oli -

Thanks for the explanation. I certainly understand about the "advertising" thing - which is why my recent post was made in the "Advertising" thread - and wish someone had explained it to me earlier in a civil manner as you did. All other forums in which I participate around the globe have no problem with the signature issue - mentioning my association with HOW, upcoming speaking engagements and the book - as a contributing member of a group, so I had no idea it was an issue here. One even deals with potential problems with the disclaimer that they "reserve the right to harass and ban drive by advertisers" across the top of the forum. (I kind of like that attitude)

Funny, my business mantra "If I don't 'toot!' my own horn, no one else well" is the basis of all my marketing/promotion efforts - and what I am always trying to teach other designers. It has caused some to refer to me as a "media whore" - like that is a bad thing! I had no idea what it really meant until I was published - as most of the marketing becomes the responsibility of the author (and nobody gets "rich" from a design book!) and I really didn't need another full-time job.

All the best - Jeff

PS: Thanks Mik
