Actually, I assumed this was a magazine article... and those are often
put out on the net after they have been published in the magazine. This
happens to be a great way for those of us who can't find back issues of
magazines, to get the information presented. 

And excuse me if in my quest for information, I don't run out and buy
every book published which relates to the subject at hand. You know, I 
often use a resource called a 'library' (a collection of books, normally
located in a publically accessible building). The author certainly 
doesn't see any revenue from my reading his or her book when I do this.

To everyone besides Mark,

Excuse my sarcasm... I know it's inappropriate. But I asked a serious
question and this person's response was not very helpful at all - and
it happened to upset me a bit.
