This is, of course, a complete misstatement of both Andrew's and my comments.

It isn't.
Not everyone (including me) share that.
But you are completely missing the point: there is a big difference in
unsolicited posts about site and referring to a site in a relevant
thread.
Indeed.
In fact, not only do I support the original controversial recommendation for
the book, /Java Concurrency in Practice/ by Brian Goetz, et al., I assert that
it is a necessary part of every Java programmer's library and that we should
all spend our own money, if necessary, to buy it. I did.
The originally proffered link to that book via a co-author, the highly
regarded Doug Lea,
<http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/>
I don't have in front of me, but Prof. Lea in turn links to
<http://www.informit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0321349601>
and, I'm sure, many other vendors carry it.
The original link was provided in response to someone asking about
multithreaded Java programming.
It is also, I think, a useful book for multithreaded programming generally,
not just in Java, despite its focus on Java idioms. C# has somewhat similar
idioms, and understanding concurrency is vital to most platforms these days.
