That's very nice. But I think you're exagerrating a bit. To think
that writing a book improved your FAQ is just strange. Especially to
think that making a little money in the process helped so much.

Don't get me wrong Steve. I'm not against people neccesarily making
money. I just hate to see FAQs blatantly advertise products. I would
say thay your actions are commendable compared to what I've seen.
