We had a discussion in this forum on 28 November about misusing
the 'reply' feature within email software to begin a new topic,
rather than composing a new message.

There is no problem with an individual posting done in this way
but archives like <gmane.science.cryptography.bletchley-park>
display these items by thread and as a result this entry, along
with others of greater import, is now displayed under a totally
unrelated heading - and is as a consequence 'off topic!.

Incidentally: the writer must, when he refers to 'Amazon' be
referring to <www.amazon.co.uk>. Parent <www.amazon.com> refers to
the book in question as "Not yet released".
