And she was generally correct. I don't consider a simple statement of
interest about a written work of sf to be spam. In fact, I checked the
e-book out.

My complaint is with Sigler (or his publisher) who only offers the
book in non-tagged pdf*. Since I therefore can't easily read it on my
PDA, Mr. Sigler's writing ability is forever doomed to be unknown to
me.
