Too bad that comment can’t be reproduced with Tom Lehrer’s wonderful, deep-voiced sarcasm. It always has a knife-edge, as if he’d love to do unspeakable things to his target, with a smile.
Anyone who isn’t familiar with Tom Lehrer’s incredible satiric songs from the Sixties, I do hope you’ll look them up. Not to be missed!

In his blog, an IBM rep quoted without attribution several paragraphs from one of my books on computers. My editor said their piracy team would send a nastygram to his boss. Never heard how it worked out. I didn’t consider it free promotion, but I hope it was a free demotion.
