I hate to say it so soon - but it seems an "I told you so" (not to the OP, but to many other people who have said otherwise - hi Thom!) might be in order, along with a dozen apologies - again - assuming this is legit. I did look up the name, and it's correct - but I'm really surprised there was no formal statement made, nor legal proceedings concerning the infraction.
Keep us updated if you receive any word back concerning the legitimacy of these statements. I'd love to be able to laugh at a few dozen folks.

Back on topic concerning the release of the BeBook - I still have a copy sitting on my shelves, totally worn down from use. Awesome book, and awesome it's available under creative commons. With some updating, it might provide a nice framework for a Haiku revision!
Thanks, ACCESS!
