Why publish when you can e-mail your "invlauble arguments" directly?
I am often contacted by students completing assignments who ask me to sum up my books because they cannot be bothered to read them. An e-mail today from a foreign PhD student (where? I have no idea—he did not introduce himself) was simply delicious: “I have tried to find your book to qout what you have exactly said , but unfortunately it needs to be purchased??? Could you please send me your invlauble arguments. thank you very much”
Desperate student or bizarrely targeted Nigerian e-mail scam? You be the judge.

Are you serious? You're frequently contacted by people that stinkin' rude?? You have a better sense of humour than I do. It must be invlauble in your line of work. :]
