Ummm, I can resell, loan out, or give away my CDs but not my MP3s. That's how I see pbooks vs. ebooks.

We need a "sit back and munch popcorn" smiley... I sense the floor show is about to start up again.

I think we need a tar pit icon we can flag a thread with to denote that it's gone over to the DRM debate. For the last couple of days I've been clicking on threads so hopefully only to find more

How did I miss that popcorn smiley??
Yes, a "tarpit" icon for a whole thread would be an excellent idea. |

Soon we'll have tags and prefixes we can add to threads. That should make things easier
