And what do we get out of it. Seems like you've made good money off
the newsgroup doing your research for you and we didn't even get a lousy
t-shirt.

As of August 2001 I got a reply to a report including this:

All PIREP's sent to the $100 Hamburger including yours become the sole
property of TPWI. It may be posted on the Internet or used in other
ways at
the sole discretion of TPWI. No compensation of any kind will be paid
to you,
now or in the future.

Kind of . . . rude. My take is that no one will send more than
one report (actually I sent several before the first reply).

Well, it is the truth, is it not? Why do people get a crab up their ass when
someone takes a FREE idea and makes a buck off it. Good for him and I've
never bought the book. So don't buy the book and shut up, ok. Find something
significant to bitch and complain about instead.
