I’d definitely like to have that 500 pages book in my library as reference, and give the shorter popular book as gift to friends (or my future kids?).
Only a small subset of the small group (relatively) of people who have read these blog posts as they were published will use them as reference later.

I would be very carefull before dismissing older blogposts and forumthreads; how often isn’t that the critical help found in some Google search?

I’m re-reading this post now! From the future!
Now I’m rereading this from the future and thinking “Sorry Michael, Vaporware!”
