[sdiy] From Bernie of Electronotes

[philgallo]

God I love this list!
The discussion above ..
Composed of ideas ... when an argument is made it is with a counter idea.

Hopefully a helps Bernie consider things and also signal the support this community is willing to demonstrate to one who so importantly and so materially promoted our area of interest and those who indulge in it.

What a cool collection of folks!

A digital book can be sold thousands of times without generating any cost at all, and at a lower cost will attract more buyers. But like Pete said, at this point I'm repeating myself, and since Bernie has been absent from the conversation, it has become mostly speculative, so I too, am done, for now.
