    FM misses the market

    Is there a viable market for an index of Machinist posts? I hardly think so. Allowing me to compile them is the equivalent of giving me permission to pilfer your recycled newspaper from the curb before the garbageman shows up.

    JK Rowling may, on the other hand, decide to take HER words and HER ideas and compile them into a format that might attract her fans and their dollars. As is her right. If some fanboys do this first, she has lost some of the value that she created.
