Then again, I usually see a few errors in their RTF's to begin with, so ....
Heh, I remember reading a John Ringo book that I got off one of the Baen CDs which still had comments in it like "/// explain <some ritual>. Toni should know it if I forget ///" I bought the webscriptions version and it was fine, but it was pretty fun to see the random comments.

I try to support Baen every chance I get, because I want to encourage their business model and DRM free distribution. Maybe one day the suits at Tor will stop clinging so desperately to their outmoded ideas of how the world works, and renew their relationship with Webscriptions. If I can't get it DRM free (in any format) or in .LIT format (Which is the same thing in the end ), I don't buy it. It means there are some books I would like to read that I can't, but I refuse to reward companies for behaviour I want to discourage.
