And a friendly reminder to anyone to be carefull when following links. This one might be legit, or it might be a virus. No way to tell, so I'm not going to try.

This is a legit link. I am just posting it here for anyone who wants/needs/would get value from the ebook for free. I get nothing from this and if you look at my profile you can see that I am a long standing and active member.

Just to prove that this is not automated check the discussion on today's editorial and you will see that I am the first poster (after Steve, of course ;-)).

I'll leave this, but if you want to post links, I'd add some text to let people know why this is a good link.

Thanks for posting, Gary.

I understand why Hugo couldn't be sure of the legitimacy of your post. Just add a few words when sharing this valuable links to give some certainty. 😉

Steve, Luis,

Constructive criticism accepted. I was busy but that is not a good enough excuse. I thought that the title and URL were clear enough but as proven by the response from Hugo they were not.

I will not be a repeat offender. 😛

BWAAAAA-HAAAA-HAAA!!!! (Heh... oops... sorry... did that come out loud? :-P).

Thanks for the laugh, Gary... I definitely needed a good gut buster after the last 3 days. 🙂

I understand folks' concerns but you're a trusted source for me. Besides, saying a few words should mean nothing to anyone. It could just as easily be a lie. I know, I know... who would lie about such a thing other than spammers and trolls and weirdos and sick puppies and those with an axe to grind and .... 😛

Since the SPAM filter doesn't actually work, especially for URL-only posts even though it's the first post, I'm thinking that people need to have a watchful eye and know the source anyway. 😀

Hugo, thanks for looking out for us but let me just say that even though I have been scarce here at SSC I know that Gary is a reliable person.
