I think I now have a pretty good understanding of your position now. However, two points.

This was certainly not my intent. Where exactly did I do so in order that I may clarify, correct, and or retract?

I will repeat my original question (with some clarification):
If it makes sense for an author to give away their early works for "free" (as you suggest), then why doesn't it make sense for them to give away all their works in digital form (not "everything" as you subsequently suggested) for "free" as some authors already do?
