Best Wishes!

I think it is a great idea to write the book. Users of the site benefit in that it provides more insurance that the site can remain free and ad-free. I can see the possibility that *more* hints might find their way to the site as the book might draw people to the site who would otherwise have not visited. At any rate, I submit that the vast majority of the contributors are from the soul of the Unix and Macintosh communities; people who give freely of their time and knowledge for the good of the whole. Rob is one of these people. They will only be pleased about the book because the book will increase people's knowledge and its proceeds (in helping the site) will further the distribution of knowledge.

Regardless of any of the pseudo-arguments placed here against publishing the book, how many things do you put 1200 hours into and then gladly *pay* to do it. Rob has a right to be not only reimbursed, but remunerated for the site and the work he puts into it.
