I don't see a problem here. Mirko asked if any other books were
available. David replied. How else is Mirko supposed to find out about
the book? I don't know if you've ever read one of David's manuals, but
IMHO they are the best way to get up to speed in IDL, especially if you
are a novice.
David posts so many useful replies to this group that I think he is
entitled to let people know about the excellent resources he provides to
help us all (novices and experts) get things done more efficiently in
IDL.
I think the philosophy of this newgroup ought to be to assist people to
get their work done in IDL. Pointless public flaming achieves nothing.
Cheers,
Liam.

OK Dave, enough with the plugs for your book which accompany
each and every post you have made for the last month or more.
WE DO NOT SELL THINGS IN THIS GROUP!
Wait instead; if it is a good book, others will do the selling
for you.
Best of luck,
JMZ
