Ah yes, very true.  But the book I want to write will be for a bit of
beer money on top of my salary.  I don't lose out if it doesn't get
printed.

Ideally, I'll be able to publish it online and through a traditional
publisher anyway - I don't mind if that cuts down on the money I get -
similar to how the Bruce Momjian's Postgres book or Olaf Kirch's Linux
Network Administrators' Guide.
