: ..............why do people not understand that this sort of question is
: better asked on a forum THAT IS ABOUT HALO?
Welcome to the internet, I see no one has give you the full tour yet.
Out of curiousity I went to Yahoo! and did a search for "halo books". The very first hit to be displayed was "9 new halo books coming" from a post on none other than this forum.
So, every Halo spazeroid that does the same is hopelessly drawn the the tantalizing link promising a total of 10 halo books. They click it, notice it is a forum, notice it is a forum where people have discussed the subject previously, and see no harm in following up with a query of their own.
It's a vicious cycle, really it is.
