Well, now this is EXACTLY what isn't true! It has
cost me, personally, about $50K to make! And that's
only my time. It doesn't count damage to relationships,
the time to acquire the experience to be *able* to make
the PDF, or any of the other, considerable, costs born
by the idiot who decides to *create* something.

Oh, don't get me started....

Cheers,

David

P.S. Thank God there are idiots, but I think there
are going to be fewer and fewer of us if we keep on
in this direction. Who, in their right mind, would
want to do this?
