Nor do I care. I only care for the ones who are willing to make their lives, and the lives of others better. For the users who refuse to learn, to adapt, and to grow, they can stagnate and stay in their own nice warm puddle.
fine. i have no problem with that. none whatsoever. take whatever attitude you want to, that's what i do. but michael hart's attitude -- which is the one that has made project gutenberg the most successful e-library in all cyberspace -- is to serve the trailing-edge user... and now _you_ -- like so many other e-book initiatives before, and i specifically include myself in that group -- find yourself coming here to use michael's e-text files for your own purpose. kind of ironic, isn't it? -bowerbird

..only in the sense that you've taken my words completely out of context, and twisted them to suit a discussion that wasn't even part of the original reply. I'm rapidly tiring of this, and its a waste of my time, as well as the time of others. If we're not moving forward, we're not moving, and that is never a wise thing to continue to expend effort upon.
