Kind words for "Rhetoric for Engineers"

Steven McGahey, who contributed to some of the subjects in Rhetoric for Engineers, wrote me this week to say...
...I'd say your running of the Rhetoric for Engineers list was a great thing, which I always really enjoyed.

Especially now, as I go back over the entry for "Jargon" (Hey, I was googling myself over lunchtime), and see your comment "excessive jargon can lead to bullsh*t", which made me grin.

Anyway, well done on coalescing some seriously useful philosophical discussions. There's a lot of crap out there, but you managed to pull a lot of good stuff together. I suspect people may still be checking it out for a long time to come.

There's a thought... why don't you send your ebook to Gutenberg or something? Would be good if your work is available/archived for the future...
I'm working on that. In the meantime, although the online version is deprecated and won't be updated any more, anyone who wants a copy of the e-book version needs only to contact me.
