It's worth repeating, so repeat I must.

The word "entitled" was used by an early opponent and I re-used it rhethotically to emphasize that you own the content once you buy it, or at least the right to read it in any shape or form humanly possible.

The question of providing it on different media requires that the cost of the media be covered, plus shipping and handling, and even a profit, but my argument is that it will become natural to ask for the surcharge to be small, and gauge whether the group here wished to get digital upgrade.

It's illuminating that a significant chunk would not want the gifts of Troy! On the contrary, PKFFW, I'm grateful to the responders that they provided a completely different collective gestalt than one might expect.

The meaning of this groupthink remains to be thoroughly understood. Now I see that marketing is not all BS -- here's a puzzle for sociologists!
