Regarding the below:

	I have a few points that I would like to make to Dr. Tuan Thanh Ho. 
First off, you are probably breaking several state and federal US laws with regards
to the sale of these items in volume (do you have a business licence or pay tax).
Secondly you are probably breaking several international laws.  I received this message
in toronto canada (do you have an export/import licence).  Third, your being annoying.
Everybody talks about how democratic the internet is, well my vote is for an end to 
your postings.  If you can rally votes in your corner (which I doubt) then go for it.
If not, then please respect the rest of us.  Finally, there is the matter of reputation.
If everyone starts to ignore your bookstore messages then they wont answer your other
enquires either.  This also applies to the university of colorado, denver.  To the folks
there I would just like to ask: what kind of outfit your running?  Is this the extent of
your proffesionalism?  

	Well, maybe thats a little harsh.  But I think that its important that we come 
to an understanding before things get out of hand.
