Imagine someone like Boycott on a forum having an argument with Furby.

Requested it for Kindle 😀

OK look, I don’t want to hurt the sales of this book or anything, but why would you order this book for the Kindle when you could use your Kindle to browse the CW threads that are in the book? For free. No editing. Smilies and everything. You could event post a reply.
The concept of taking a forum, which by it’s very nature is a dynamic, interactive and evolving entity, and locking it into print seems strange to me.
But, hey, good luck with it!

Out of curiosity, how many asterisks made it into this book?

As it’s not that important, it’s in the EST timezone.
You have a number of posts in the book.
No idea actually. My guess would be Richard.
