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.
