The trolls would not like that. You see, with a book, they can't reply/comment
to attack him and/or his message. I agree with Linonut. This would make an
interesting eBook at the very least. At least all of that stuff is online
somewhere. The trolls' aggressive response tells how fearful Microsoft is of
these writings.
