PS. I did complain to AOL for this unsolicited advertising. I'm not fully away about the policy of BIBLIST but on other, scientific lists, which I maintain, this kind of advertising is not accepted.
PPS. Please, do not soil the list by continuing this thread of discussion on the list, send you replies to the listowner or to me directly.
