You can please some of the people all of the time.
You can please all of the people some of the time.
You can't please all of the people all of the time :)

As for the FAQ Entry, I don't see your book coming out of it any time in
the near future.

If I remember right, when the blog address was added you were blogging
about the book. The link to it has been removed from my local copy and
will be removed from the online copy of the FAQ sometime this week.

Nothing quite like an author suggesting you not recommend his own book.
The reference to it has been removed locally and will also get removed
this week from the online version.
