A full truth-in-advertising disclosure would reveal the fact that Co-op
Press is, in fact, owned and operated by Sy Brandon.

I've seen this announcement several times on the newsgroups over the past
couple of years. Although I admire Mr. Brandon's drive for self-promotion,
and although there is nothing inherently wrong with what he is doing, I
would somehow feel better about these announcements if they didn't seem
quite so devious.
