Same feeling I have had during this discussion. In my post I asserted
the fact that I am willing to pay for electronic publications. Not
saying that I won't buy anything on paper (my book cases can testify to
that). Not saying that publishers or authors HAVE to do anything. I
started my previous post with 'I'm almost scared to post'. I'll end this
one with the same feeling.
