It's not fair, Rey!  How come they're out of print?  Do a Maledicta BOX SET!!
I'd totally ask Santa Claus for it!  Also "Hillary's Pen Pal" is not available
on Amazon, except used.  And used books are NARST!  I don't know if someone
didn't cream all over it or something.  Many would find such a book
pornographic, no?

Comments...?

Rey would agree with me, Joey, that this should be discussed between you
and him privately. One of the big no-noes of Usenet is the transaction
of commercial business. You may disagree with this tradition, but I'm
quite sure Rey holds to it.

Maybe it's something wrong with your server because all of us auers got one
copy via FEDEX.

>I'd totally ask Santa Claus for it!

If you'd had asked only partially, you might have gotten it by now.

Yeah right!  When?  How?

Shut up, you stunod foreigner!  You're too dumb and foreign to understand what
"totally" before a verb means!  Go back to 18th century Finlandia, or whenever
you're from.

I'm glad to see you've recovered your voice.

Mike, you seem fairly intelligent.  You and Dena Jo are on to something; I will
say that much.  Is it really so difficult to figure out *why* I might be
"pushing some of your buttons", as Dena Jo said, more often than others?  Are
you really not able to understand why my "parodic voice", as you call it,
appears and disappears from post to post?  I'll give you a hint: it's not
because I'm a troll.  But the two of you, at least, seem to have already gotten
that much.  I wonder if anyone else has any theories?  You people are really
*almost* at the end--you seem to have understood the most difficult part
already.  (Well, Dena Jo has, at least; not sure about you.)

What makes you think anyone cares why you behave as you do?

YJ, as Murray said, AUE should not be used for commercial purposes.
(Sara Muffy Floggenheimer's ubiquitous plug for her book & Amazon.com
link are okay, though.  Doubters can verify this with The Irish Saint
[on hiatus].)

> It's not fair, Rey!  How come they're out of print?

They are not.  Only _Maledicta_ I/2 (Legman Festschrift) is.  Don't
trust Amazon.com's listings; many errors.  Facts are here:

That's also wrong.  I see three brand-new copies listed there.

No.  The only obscenity connected with this book is that the criminal
whore Hillary and her equally criminal pro-forma husband Bill are not in prison.

Why not?  It's English-related.  And I'd like to read Maledicta, but I don't
want some ghetto incomplete/censored version.  I want the REAL DEAL.  It's just
unfair that books can go out of print.  That should be illegal.

was Maledicta 1.5 so controversial that it was banned or something?  I don't
get *how* a book can go out of print.  It's UNFAIR for the fans!  This is
almost as disappointing to me as when Ginger Spice left the Spice Girls!  f.ck
you, Ginger!!

>That's also wrong.  I see three brand-new copies listed there.

But they're new-used.  Now new-new.

What's your beef with Billary?
