Unauthorized ebook downloads
« on: February 10, 2012, 04:51:58 PM »
I thought there used to be a thread for reporting this sort of thing so it could be passed along to those whom it would concern, but I couldn't find it.  [SNIPPED]

Thanks!  For future reference, just PM stuff like this to me or one of the other mods.  I'd rather these links not be posted publicly.  The "report" function is only used to bring existing threads to the attention of the mods.

... and the fact that such a link as that was sitting out in the open went right past me. *facepalm*

There, there, you can't keep your eyes on ALL the links everywhere! That's why you have the fine folks on this forum. :)

No, I meant "here in this thread". And I COMMENTED on it without advising WH to remove the link itself or giving the same suggestion that Priscellie made. That's what I meant.

Getting slack in my old(er) age.

Ah. I don't think though, that anyone on this forum would really use that link except to rain insults on them, so it shouldn't matter if it took you a little while to fix it. :)

Priscellie fixed it. I must be getting soft. *looks for Iron Rod of Discipline* *finds frozen Snickers bar instead*

That would be what's causing that softness your feeling. :D

I don't eat the things. My wife does. Now say that to her. But give me a ten-minute warning; I want to be sure to be out of the blast radius.

Priscellie being who she is, you need not find that Iron Rod of Discipline. :P

And *gasp* Snickers bars don't make you soft. Shame on you, Wizard H for insinuating such things. (I may be a little scared of the "blast radius" comment - I don't want to be in the blast radius either!)

I knew you were a softie, Shecky  :P
Missing you, Md 

There are many horrible sights in the multiverse. Somehow, though, to a soul attuned to the subtle rhythms of a library, there are few worse sights than a hole where a book ought to be. Someone has stolen a book (Terry Pratchett)

I know how touchy the subject is, but I thought it worth the effort to point out a site offering all of Jim's books for free .epub download.  [link removed]

I've sent a copy of the link over to Prisc.  She'll see it's handled.  Thanks for the heads up, although for future reference, it's best just to PM any of the Moderators or Bartenders with the link so we can check things out with out offering advertising for the pirates.

Thanks again for letting us know!
