I must point out the sharp dividing line that must exist between the expert and the amateur. The professional and the dilettante. This divide must exist at all costs.
Some who are enamored by the instant gratification that comes from posting online must understand that the time and effort that are always required to produce quality work is what you are paying for when you buy a book. Someone else did the work, checked it for accuracy, and put it into a form for others to enjoy and profit from.
This is not about any particular "generation." This is about the Communist/Anarchist construct called the internet where everyone is "equal." But the exact opposite is true, isn't it? Add to that the fact that the internet is the greatest manure spreader ever invented by man.
