    Toss me a PM to discuss details. I'll have my close friend from Nigeria wire the money into your account. He will be sending a lump sum of $3k. For your generosity you can have $2k and just send me a USPS money order for the remaining $500 :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

    That would be awesome!!! But I think Ray would want to update it before he put it in a pdf and the time it would take him to do it,well it would take time.

    This is why I asked I would be willing to do it. I just have to get hold of Ray and ask him if he would be willing to send the stuff to me.

    I've asked, among many others, and he wasn't interested at the time. It is a very time-consuming project, and he feels that most of the info is scattered around this forum anyway.

    If he did release an update, there would be a long line of pre-orders.

    Found one, thanks guys!

    For the record (and so everyone can make note of this), if I got out of Polk/SDA's I will be offering the Compendium up for Karma to Polk Forum.

    This forum is just too damn awesome lol :biggrin:

    Just clear it with DK as he has the copyright. Of course all his hard work, research, publishing and other expenses should just be given away freely.:rolleyes:

    It is people like you that make me deeply regret that I expended the time and expense to do this.

    The amount of audio-related technical and historical information that I have "shared freely" on this forum would fill several large volumes.

    I don't understand why you don't understand that I can do what I want to do with my copyrighted work. I don't owe you anything just because you want it or because you believe it is the "community" thing to do.

    I have my copy. You don't. And I would never PDF it for distro.

    You can come over and thumb through it, but you can't have it, no way. I might let you get your picture taken next to it, closed, I haven't decided yet.

    Cheers,

    A tad petulant to squeal about sharing if it's out of print, sold out, and no future plans for a reprint edition. Vacuums tend to get filled.....one way or another. Someone who owns it could start a "roadshow", it's worked very well in "other forum" communities.:rolleyes:

    At this very moment, someone, somewhere is printing counterfeit money in their basement.

    Prisons and cemeteries are filled to overflowing with people who were just trying to fill some type of vacuum...one way or another.:wink:

    I don't have to. Life has a way of automatically dealing with unscrupulous conduct. You can consult many accurate biographies of well known unscrupulous persons who were determined to fill some vacuum in their life by any means necessary.

    The way some people act, you would think that The Compendium held the secrets to curing baldness and increasing **** length.


    mad.gifThe Compendium does have a magical, mystical effect on your johnson. Why do you think there's all that talk about fellows rubbing their junk on it and rubbing one out after reading it?
