Hey group...I just bought two of Helen Nash's books from
Amazon...Waterfalls, Fountains, Pools & Streams: Designing & Building Water
Features for Your Garden and Plants For Water Gardens: The Complete Guide To
Aquatic Plants. Amazon has this thing where when you buy something they
allow you to offer it a friend at a discount. Instead of mailing the
discount to anyone, I mailed it to myself, and then copied the links. This
way I am not sharing anyone's email address, but I can still get the deal. I
thought I would post the links here in case anyone wants to get these books.
If you do it through these links you can get a 10% discount. I assume there
is something in it for me from Amazon, but to be honest, I have no idea, as
I have never done this before.

Anyway here is the link...you must take advantage of this by March 30 to get
the discount...

It is a good idea to quote a bit of the message asking for such
information, otherwise we might mistake your message for spam.

My apologies to the group, if my post seemed like SPAM. I had not intention
of spamming the group. To answer Hal's point...nobody requested the
information. I ordered the books this weekend, and up popped this screen
asking for email addresses of friends. By providing their email addresses,
those friends could get the same books, 10% off. I just thought I would
share the potential savings with y'all. This NG is typically a bit more
tight nit then other groups, so when I posted, it never even occurred to me
that it would be mis-construed as SPAM. I think my posting history shows, I
am not a spammer.

As I mentioned in the post, I am not aware, nor have I researched what, if
any benefit I would receive from someone ordering the books via that link. I
just want to be sure I am clear that I posted the link with ALL good
intentions of sharing the savings, and not for personal gain.

BV, I never once thought you were spamming! I think everyone
on the NG knows who you are and that you were just doing
a "good work" ...

I have often suggested people purchase Helen Nash's books.
If someone can get a discounted price I would let them know
about the offer. I see nothing wrong with what you did, you
were not selling the books you were just passing along a
good deal. I can't see were that would be considered spam.

I'll always recommend the Low Maintenance
pond book Helen Nash wrote.
But not as often as I'd like as I aways have
to cut and paste the word 'Maintenance' into
a document to spell check it. It is one of those
words my mind refuses to wrap itself around...

No apology necessary to me, but then I know who you are and read far enough
to figure it out that you were only selling how to save someone buck or
two. I do this all the time on my personal local e-mail list (JJ's Ponding
Tidbits) no one has complained of me spamming them yet. ;o) ~ jan
