My sentiments exactly.  I *REALLY* wish there was
a searchable "kevinbuettnersknowledgenuggets.org"
web site.  I do use the PLUG archives when I remember
that "Hmmm.  Seems like Kevin posted something on
this issue." but it would be GREAT if Kevin could
simply dd his mind onto a searchable web site
somewhere.  :)

Come on, Kevin!  Write some books!  Make some coin!


Mi Dos Pesos,
