The poster formerly known as TP Posts: 11,047 Group: Members Member #22 Joined: October 30, 2005 Gender Male	I found some books from this author at a book shop, and they sounded good, but I'd like other people's opinions first. Anybody know about him, and are his books worth a read?

The poster formerly known as TP Posts: 11,047 Group: Members Member #22 Joined: October 30, 2005 Gender Male	See? I'm still the master of digging up stuff nobody has heard about. But I doubt you haven't heard of Jon Bing and Tor �ge Bringsv�rd either.

The poster formerly known as TP Posts: 11,047 Group: Members Member #22 Joined: October 30, 2005 Gender Male	Yes, P2P is the third thing. Wikipedia for general trivia, Google to find websites, and P2P for downloading stuff (albeit usually illegally).

The poster formerly known as TP Posts: 11,047 Group: Members Member #22 Joined: October 30, 2005 Gender Male	Why is it that topics have a tendency to go off-topic after a certain amount of posts?

Lone Wolf Posts: 8,237 Group: Members Member #11 Joined: October 11, 2005 Zodiac Sign Pisces	I read a law somewhere that said eventually all threads end up off topic.
