All those who contributed contents, that's who... no others have anything to
say.

At the time the rfc cookbook was still in process a poll was taken as to how
many books would be produced, based in part on how many each said they'd
order, and extras for those who may decide to order. There was also a great
furor over whether to make an electronic version available and it was
decided there would be none in any foremat. It was decided that in the
future that if if others wanted another edition then they could do their
own, but under no circumstances would the original ever be made available
electronically... at the time all those involved agreed... now it is plain
that many a word ain't worth the price of used TP.
