very good
Actually there are a lot of people on fora named after you - dicks!
I went to my first (and probably only) opera this year, the WNO's version of Madame Butterfly with Cheryl Barker (not Cheryl Baker as my wife thought!) as Butterfly - it was fantastic. I might risk Carmen but that is the limit for me, give me Rach's 2nd piano concerto any time!
Well I have to try to drum up sales somehow, it's not as if I am some big corporation and nobody else has complained.
But if it makes you feel better then (assuming you are not a mod, apologies if you are) contact one of the mods so they can ban me.
Most posts I read by you end up referring to your 'book'.
They all do, given it is mentioned in the signature, and Rob's avatar is the cover of the book.

It is a great shame that BF has so much interesting resource but fundamentally is quite a nasty place.
It is fundamentally quite a nice place really.
I have no problem with you plugging your book, but I have no problem with someone telling you they do. It's a forum, they shouldn't have to go to the Mods if they are happy to tell you to your face.

I can only apologise - perhaps if you wrote a book, which has a very narrow audience, you would understand that you try to take what opportunities you can and whilst it might be a fine line you hope that people are generous to the 'underdog' which I think in the case of BF's moderators they have been and I appreciate them for that.
By the way if you think that I do this because I might hugely gain financially then let me tell you that I get about 75p per book.
I think this is my 195th post so I very much doubt that 98 of them have mentioned my book and / or the GGS incident, perhaps you are a bit selective in the posts of mine that you read. If you are so concerned then I believe you can block my posts.
It is a great shame that BF has so much interesting resource but fundamentally is quite a nasty place - although ironic that someone just PMd me to say how much they enjoyed reading something recently.
Like I said if you have a real issue then contact the Mods.
Have you written a book? You should have said. I read a book once.

You're a man of hidden depths, Chris.
Chris - the REAL one.
Just caught a Buff Ermine, nice moth.

That going in the new book Rob?

I know people press flowers but...moths? ;D
