Submit your tip! - $250 Award - "Machine Shop Trade Secrets"

Forget the $250. I'll donate free of charge a copy of your book which in a moment of confusion I bought a few months back.

The only condition is the winner personally promises to pay you a visit and stick it where the sun doesn't shine (and I don't mean Manchester)

Pity it's a softback.

Regardless of how many times this is said, it is simply not true.

There will not be a second book printed compiling the user tips.

They will be available to everyone - for free - online.

I still thought the best idea was one posted by a moderator on a Yahoo group who is fed of being scammed by your people. He reckons if he gets anymore he's going to scan the book and put it on alt.binaries.e-books for all to download

I posted once on the groups I have posted to.

Moderators are free at any moment to remove posts they feel are not pertinent to a group.

I think that should actually be a "You, Madam....."

She runs a brothel as well ?

That's correct. Madam.

Typical British understatement but wasted as it will go over their heads

The only reason it might have gone over my head is because I am not interested in such places, but maybe this is an indicator of the kind of company I am in.

Have fun amongst yourselves guys. It was important to me that people understood the user tips would NOT be compiled in a second book.

You may continue with tangents galore.

If you are in business it is a business model well worth looking into

Think about it, you have it, you sell it but you still have it my boy..........

I've thumbed through it.

If I'd dropped the $40 for it, I'd have been pissed.

Good, $10 book, maybe.

Does "Don't piss off your potential customer, by spamming their newsgroups and forums!" count as a tip?

I'd figure it should.
