[pct-l] PDF yogi is death!

[calliger at infolane.com (rjc)]

To put ANYTHING onthe web that is copyrighted is death for the book: it's 
integrity,
revision, pride of authorship, etc,,,it can be copied so easily. At least 
now somehow
has to buy it or borrow it and scan it in and do OCR to put it on the net.

Good decision and I would stick to it yogi!
