In hindsight I should've minded my own business, but here we are. Do whatever you like.
it sounds like you have some ideas. i encourage you to do them.
Just to be clear, this all started because I wanted to get the book. I thought I'd maybe learn something new. Maybe pass it around to my friends and family who aren't tech-savvy.

Nope.

- Cool, how do I get it?
