    Rather than slog through more, I'll just mention the counts:
    (Author=ronblack) AND (contains "Harris") --- 27 posts
    (Author=ronblack) AND (contains "tradingpatterns.com") --- 23 posts
    (Author=ronblack) AND (contains "www.wiley.com") --- 10 posts (done with Google Advanced Search, ET search won't let you include dots in the search string)

    I may have incorrectly lumped you and intradaybill together into the same mental bucket. Intradaybill also recommends the books of Michael Harris, in a posting style eerily similar to your own, including hyperlinks to the publisher's site (wiley.com) rather than to retail sites where traders might buy the book, such as amazon.com. Compare the posts above, with those from intradaybill, such as the example below. As I say, eerie. However I do apologize for confusing the two of you.

    A couple of the links you posted still refer to the articles, not to the book.

    Here are just a "few" links you have posted where you mention the same books and works of same people, not including those you have posted from tinyurl that cannot be traced, including your recent post:
