I would.. as they say, "shoot, shovel and shut        up". ;)              The only time I learned about a violator was the one that I        picked up on. It was a big box Indigo.ca. I had learned that        some people had already received their copies from online        orders of something that was not supposed to be released/        shipped until a specific date. I was a little livid. I called        the publisher/distributor and complained. I had copies of        people's exchanges on facebook to prove it (people discussing        that their book had arrived and commenting how beautiful it        was inside). They were not too happy to hear that one outlet        violated the laydown date.              --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.46        * Origin: (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 129/305 153/757 203/0 221/1 6 360 229/426 664 700       SEEN-BY: 280/464 282/1038 301/1 322/757 335/364 423/81 460/58 4500/1       PATH: 221/1 6 153/757 229/664 426           |
