Thanks Griff. 
That was extremely nice of you to post that and for whoever let me through the spam filter.
I really appreciate it.

No problem!
I can't see it as spam if you are giving it away!

A somewhat flawed piece of logic, wouldn't you say? Now you've set the precedent are you going to let me publicise my free list of aliens in power around the world or peddle my free advice on bringing down the Government using nothing but a thumbnail drive and an apple core?
I don't have any problems with the decision. I just wonder whether which slippery slope it may lead us to.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Not really. Spam is advertising, which at it's heart is trying to get something (money, traffic, clicks, whatever) which is of benefit to the person posting it. He isn't - he's pointing you are a site where you can get something he has put a lot of effort into (I hope) for nothing. And as far as I know, Amazon doesn't pay you for someone looking at your book on their site!
So I don't see it as spam.
Your examples aren't spam either. They are probably rubbish, or worse: religion. But they aren't spam. You might get kicked as a troll though!

The fun is going to be finding time to read it - I've only just opened the Xamarin book that
Microsoft are giving away: Microsoft Press - Creating Mobile Apps with Xamarin Forms[^] and there's a load of stuff in there to read!

Thanks for the link to the Xamarin forms book.
I'll check that out too. Great stuff.

Someone let me through the spam filter and I greatly appreciate it.
Thanks so much.
Also, you can get the book as a free download and read it on your computer via kindle app on your computer which can run inside your browser.

Thanks so much for the encouragement and taking the time to comment.

That's very generous of you. Maybe now I can learn all those extra bits of Android development that have eluded me. I hope you actually end up making some money from it - let us know when you hit $1,000.

Thanks so much. I cannot put into words how much your words encouraged me. I really appreciate it.
A big part of writing my books is honestly about creating value for my readers. I don't want to waste their time and I want to charge them as little as possible.
Thanks again.

Check out what they said about this Darwin Award candidate[^]. A regular Einstein, apparently!

Yup. I can point out, however, chaos:
A liquid can be flammable - which is conceivable.
A liquid can be inflammable - which is inconceivable.
Probably other lurking about in the language, but these to are a hot issue.

Not only that, but flammable and inflammable mean the same thing!

Yes, grasshopper! Imagine the fun about arguing whether something was flammable or inflammable!
Here's some more fun-with-English (and you don't even have to speak real English like we 'mericuns do to git it.).
How do you pronounce: 'WIND' ?
How about 'READ', 'POLISH' . . . I once had several pages of these beauties.
