Only prospects that sign an NDA get to see that. I think that Eric
probably handled this through normal business processes and that
notifying us was a courtesy. Nobody has contacted me so that I can pass
along their contact information to my ISP, with whom I have a business
and a personal association, so I assume that nobody here is interested
in running the editorial end of things. Or maybe some folks are talking
among themselves about doing something and I'm just out of the loop.
Off this topic, do any of you get an e-mail in German immediately after
you post to the list? I get one that says something about the address
not being a real address and please do something, but I'm not sure it's
just not coincidence. I think I'm going to watch and see if after I send
this, another one comes.
Also, did anyone get a brochure recently from a "Manuals Corporation of
America" about documentation seminars?
