That's goud cus aur speling es rilly bade.   :-!  (missing a tooth)

I don't know if it's quite to the point of needing a dedicated book but I
do think it should have a chapter/sub-chapter dedicated to it.  It's an
awesome tool that just keeps getting better.  We recently bought into it's
commercial big daddy, CanIt Pro.  The price is low and I highly recommend
it.  It uses MD at its core.  They are continually making improvements to
it.  They've got a complete PHP rewrite for the web interface coming out
soon.  If you know Perl and have a good idea, you can certainly implement
it in MD.  When more people contribute custom filters to the project to 
expand it in new directions, then it would probably warrant a book.  It's 
a slick tool, nonetheless though.  I'd buy a copy if one was published 
though.
