You utterly mistake my annoyance. Yes, I'm annoyed. NO, it has nothing to do with people wanting "my job."
It's about silliness. It's about the idea of herding kittens AND getting them to voluntarily BATHE in running water while you're at it (Authors: HTML). Or the idea that because some itinerant would-be bookmaker wandered in here and couldn't blow Rachmaninoff out his butt the first time he sat down at the piano, we have some obligation to all put our time in to create some "course" for all the would-be bookmakers out there. And now I'm annoyed because every time I say something irritable, you ascribe my motive for irritation to the idea that I have some nefarious commercial interest behind it.
Really? You see a crapload of
other professional bookmakers in here helping others? You see Josh and Rob and Liza and Liz and all those guys in here telling people on the Workshop how to make mobi toc's work? Giving out helpful info for no remuneration, on a forum where, by definition, there's no paying work? I'm here exactly why I said I'm here:
to relax amongst my peeps.
I don't have "side." I'm a WYSIWYG person. When I have a commercial interest, I say so. When I'm irritated at time-wasting silliness, I say so. And trust me: if I feel that something here is threatening my commercial interests, you won't have any doubt about my motives. Only an
idiot would not know that commercial ebooking's days are numbered. None of us know how many days that is; we just know that it is true. There are at least five firms I know of that folded their tents this year alone.
BTW: when I say "finite," I mean, "finite." I mean "bounded." I mean, defined and established. Not guesstimation. Finite (defined and established) control.
Now, seriously: not gonna respond on this thread any longer. It's screwing with my Tao. If I
want to be annoyed, I can go to the KDP forums.
