Hi Luv:

I read the article plus a couple of other article that "your article" links to. It's updated my knowledge but is still essentially as I understand things. What Michael Craig writes, as confirmed by these articles, is way off base.

Thanks again,

Mason

It's probably useless to argue with you, Mason. You started off attacking me with your superior knowledge of the publishing industry - which is fine; you are, after all, a publisher, and I don't think we even disagreed on very much - and telling me how important Amazon rankings are.

Then you tell me that you've been educated by some book and links about how Amazon works - don't you get the irony that your source itself is ranked 276,000 in Amazon's rankings? - so you can conclude that I'm way off base.

I suppose, therefore, it IS reasonable to presume that the 10 or so books per day a batch of phony reviews might generate is the grease that keeps the Annie Duke Conspiracy working.
