me please e- mail plwims...@xxxxxxxxxxxx The book is to be

Thank you

I gave you a better title.

Why should I give my book away?

So then you'll pay us for our good stories? (etc.)

I'm not forcing people to write for the book,

Oh. I'll call off the civil rights peeps, then.

and I'll put
something in as well. I'm not getting the book for nothing, you
only pay for a book you want after all.

'k, if you're done being all philosophical 'n ***, then consider:

You're asking people to donate stuff so that you can eventually, you
hope, line your pocket with profits.

Wouldn't it be _more_ ethical for you to just hold up a badly
lettered cardboard sign saying "will stand on corner for money"?

Probably get more that way, anyway.
