So you concede that TAG's statement is *not* the "damning polemic" of your original characterization?

Of course I didn't need your link -- I read TAG's website before my prior comments. I am still looking for the polemic, though.

Perhaps you might provide support for your assertions that TAG's statements are lies and hysteria...I surely don't see any. You may not agree with TAG's POV, but you haven't offered any evidence to the contrary.

Yes, TAG advocated a lending right - 15 years ago! And it hasn't surfaced since -- until Jeffie needed a strawman to knock over in his own quest to sow FUD amongst the used book sellers and consumers.

I really doubt that TAG thinks it can harm Amazon's sales; rather, I believe that TAG is asking its members to make a symbolic gesture to show lack of support to a system that may cause them harm. Of course, if they don't agree, they don't have to comply. TAG is *not* a union, and has no power to enforce anything.

Where is the TAG anti-first sale evidence? Moribund (15 year ago!) advocacy of a lending right that was (1) to be paid by the government, not the libraries, and (2) which was never seriously pursued by the organization? If that's the best you can do, I feel vindicated.
