I think it's fine to ask any questions if you can't find the answer in the help files. If people don't want to answer, they don't need to, and it shows others where the confusing bits are. If nothing else, we probably can point you in the right direction. Not to mention, sometimes there is a new feature needed that is brought by the "beginner's mind" that people unfamiliar with MLO bring.
As for a book...a book is more appealing to me than writing a tutorial because I'd like to be published. I'm partway through a memoir (I had an interesting childhood) and it would be a way to explore the publishing world, but I'm worried that I'd be split too thin. On the other hand, a book covering 4.0 could have a good synchronicity when 4.0 is released :) One other option, I have done a bit of MLO consulting and am willing to do more. If anyone is interested, contact me offlist.
