To borrow from a quote attributed to Yogi Bera:

If people aren't buying something, how are you going to stop them?


Or the following "dedication" from a book of humor published in the nineteenth
century:

This book was written by the authors
and pubished by the publishers
to be read by the readers.
If it is not successful, the responsibility
must lay with those who did not buy it.

from History and Records of the Elephant Club
by Edward Underhil and Mortimer Thompson
New York. 1857.
