Ciao Shay I like your post. I agree and disagree.
I think TW could also be used for BULK projects like converting umpteen novels into ebooks. Though for that to get traction you'd need some kinda consistent hosting system. At the moment the individualist end of TW gets much, much attention. All good. The bulk publishing possibilities I don't think have yet been, as far as I know, touched. That too has merit.
