A good press just offered to pick up my New Deal book. I haven't signed anything yet (since i haven't gotten it) but assuming this goes through this is basically my tenure plus the fact that the book is going to come out.



Once it is out all RM members with more than 5000 posts will be expected to purchase a copy or posting privileges will be revoked.

that is all

Does this book have a chance at hitting #6 on the New York Times best seller list?

Wait a second, do those 5,000 posts have to actually be good posts? If so, then I don't think i'd qualify.

I think that will depend on the critical reception of the book and how desperate I am. I may make chud by one copy for every 10k posts he has. By the time this is out he should be up to about 200,000

This exchange was both pleasant and informative. Have a nice day.

this would require hiring RM interns to execute a detailed audit, and i'm not sure we have the resources.

I would be willing to do that, free of charge. Would you be interested in being my intern for this endeavor?
