I'm trying to be a less sarcastic person, but I swear to G-d
posts like this make it hard. I thought it was really nice
that she was giving away information because she's an
enthusiast and wants to share, so I went to her website and
damn if she's not charging money (a *lot* of money compared
to ebooks in general) to download a .exe file that she says
is an e-book.

So, aside from the problem of posting commercial
advertisements to discussion groups, we have the more
immediately threatening problem of downloading a file whose
contents are unverifiable without installation. If anybody
is actually gullible enough to do this, they deserve an
infected computer that's been turned into a bot for
spamming.

Geeze.
