Baen's monthly book package

Who here is a fan of Baen's monthly book package? I would buy the package with or without the free threads that happen on these forums. I like the cross section of books you get from the package

I bought them every month from when they started in 1999 until the end of 2011. Since then, I've bought about half.

They have introduced me to many writers new to me. I'm a fan.

I buy about 2 out of every 3, and really appreciate them as a way to try new writers I might not otherwise try. Some of those are a flop for me, but then I don't feel cheated since I only buy the bundle when it makes sense for books I was already going to buy. While I've started threads here for freebie giveaways, I don't any longer participate or encourage them, since they really seem to be going against the spirit and intent of the "buy one, give one away" Baen deal, and especially since so many of participants tend to be the same group every time.
