in reply to Should I organize a boycott of camel 3?

O'Reilly is one of my favorite publishers. I must admit, I would be more than a little miffed if I wrote a commercial work, and recieved little to no credit/payment. Is it in your contract with O'Reilly that you are entitled to this payment, however? You must remember that O'Reilly is an established business, and established businesses have SOPs and precidents that must be followed in order to ensure smooth operation and in order to stay out of legal trouble. I am sure that it was not their intention to screw you over. They are probably just looking after their own backs to ensure that there is a camel 4. My best advice is to use your work on camel 3 as a chip in negotiations for future work with the company. It may not have profitted you this time, but it can be the springboard that you need to further yourself in the future. Many people miss this thought. I know that I myself, have missed several opportunities because I did not view them in the right light. So, in closing, please view this as a lesson, and an opportunity, not just as a dissapointment.
