A bunch of you wrote emails to get my new book. And that's great. Love it.
If you missed it, you can do it again.

I also got some strange feedback:

• "Why do you distribute it for free?"
• "I'd love it, by why do you distribute it for free?"
• "I would buy it, if you are selling it."
• "I'm gonna make sure I buy it."
• "I'm gonna make sure we buy it."
• "I can't believe that you believe in open source."

   I'm not doing it for the money. I'm doing it to distribute thought, knowledge and/or religion. This book is free, as long you are not making direct profit from it without making me a part of it. You can, though, contribute to local general religion awareness anytime.

There's another line of thought happening:

• "I have a problem with chapter X.Y.Z. I can't believe you believe this is the right way to go. In any case, I would chose B over A anytime."
• "Second paragraph in chapter X is just too general. I can't relate to that."
• "Having spent the last two months on this technology, this just can't be the best way to go."
• "There's a specific problem with X in chapter Y if you want to do it in our environment."

Over these, I have no control whatsoever. I strongly believe that scenarios are different in everyones lives.

I have to stress again that English reading/speaking audience can NOT benefit from it, since it's written in Slovene.
