Why's (poignant) guide to Ruby

Considering _why's infocide several years ago and the fact that this book has been available online for free, it seems like somebody is simply trying to make money off of his free book. I've reported it to Amazon as fraudulent, and I urge anybody reading this to do the same!

If this is _why then there's no need for that and we should, in fact, be supportive of someone who gave to much to the community and buy the book.

Is this really a complete post when it's just a link to buy a book off Amazon.
