Whoa, you people are harsh.
It reminds me of the time my GF tried to make a "cute" sounding CraigsList post for someone to adopt her puppy -- for free -- when she had to make a cross country move. The hate mail started rolling in from dozens of people telling her how stupid her posting sounded, how lame it was, how tired they were of seeing things like that, how she should just go die in a fire and take the puppy with her, etc etc.

Seriously, the things that anger people these days amazes me. If a post like this "pisses" people off, then "people" have anger management issues.
I get being "confused", or even turned-off from wanting to read the book ... but pissed off? If I notice someone had hit & run my vehicle; that pisses me off. If someone steals from me; that pisses me off. A cheating spouse; pisses me off. Animal abuse; pisses me off.
A random person on a forum using caps and describing a book in a confusing and commercial manner; does not piss me off.
