Re: OT: Amazon book recommendations for Ramashiva

It's a very diverse and deep list. One I could never accomplish. We all
know you are brilliant William.

Amazon.com has come up with a neat marketing gimmick. I just received an
email with book recommendations based on my previous purchases. Of course,
these purchases were made several years ago with my ramashiva@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
email address. I have since changed my email address with Amazon, and no, I
won't tell you the actual email address I use for most email correspondence.

Here is the email Amazon sent me. This should give you a rough idea of what
I was actually reading three years ago. If you could see the list of books
I have purchased in the last three years, your mind would be totally blown.

Oh, and if you decide to order any of these books or any others from Amazon,
please do me a favor. Please go to my dormant blog, Ramashiva Rules --

http://www.ramashivarules.blogspot.com

Please click on the Amazon banner at the top. You may need to turn off ad
blocking to see the banner. I will get a 5% affiliate commission on all
Amazon purchases you make after clicking through the banner.

Needless to say, this post is my way of thumbing my nose at "Vern", the
usenet Nazi who is determined to stop me from making OT posts on RGP. Not
only is this post OT, it is commercial spam, something I have never done
before, at least to the best of my recollection.

Here is the email from Amazon --
