If you're paying a euro for a 10-year-old tutorial on an obsolete
technology, you're paying too much.

Yeah - that's the only downside to not hiding your identity.
Anonymous nay-sayers come out of the woodwork.

I remember this one crazy bitch from here in Dallas who, after the book came

about me.
On the other end of the spectrum, I got the opposite response from some
folks in Finland who praised me as some kind of God and wanted to work for
me.
Freaky.
