xpost ISBN and Amazon don't get to decide what a "book" is or not! Many of my favorite books don't have ISBN's and aren't on Amazon, that's the whole idea behind "small press"! And I'm pretty sure most bookstores won't special order something that doesn't have an ISBN anyway.

Lemme suggest something better: how about ILX regulars just print out threads they think are funny to keep for themselves? It's not difficult.

(Chris, for heaven's sake, I'm both an author and an editor in the small press. We aren't going to have an argue about the innate essence of bookness. You can feel free to alone.)

'Webboard comments have ranged from anti-European ("More tastelessness and idiocy from across the Atlantic") to mildly amused ("Somebody had to say it") to vehement agreement ("George W. Bush should die in a hotel fire in Birmingham, wrapped in sheets gritty with Mr Kipling crumbs") since the incident.'
All three comments, unattributed, came from one ILM thread, and the third is mine... But it's a parody paraphrase of a comment Morrissey himself made about Brett Anderson. So, if the lawyers had their way, we could sue Pitchfork, Morrissey could sue me, Bush could join him in a class action, Brett Anderson could sue Morrissey, Bush could invade Highgate, Ned could lock every thread on ILM, and so on and so on. Only the lawyers would benefit, and in the end only three vultures would be left alive on earth. (Cue TAFKAJD to say 'Momus, don't be disrespecting vultures. They are noble animals.')

*This is not to say I don't think some of you have very valid arguments - it IS, rather, to say that he said if people said no that he'd get rid of it, people have said no, and now he'll get rid of it. Why waste the time and energy on something which has practically already been solved?

Jess, the key part of your sentence = "on ILX." We are all of us aware that loads of people can read what we write on ILX. Some of us would prefer to state very clearly, right now and for future reference, that we do not necessarily wish that material to be reproduced outside the place where we originally put it. Especially for sale.
(I've just remembered something that saddens me: J0hn actually did this same thing once, didn't he? Posting an ILX thread over to LP2J and then coming back to ask if anyone minded.)
