    So when is Tom going to write a book

    Isn't it customary for a legend to write a book to keep his legacy alive.

          I'd buy it. Yeah, just writing 20 page books for school is hard, so I can see how writing anything full is a *****. Yeah, I'd like him to finally make a paintball book that isn't for newbs..Everyone I have seen is, and if they picked it up and he wrote it, they couldn't appreciate what he has done.

            That is why, you have someone else write the book for you... Tell them what you want people to read and then have writer write the book... Similiar to how Lance Armstrong's books, and various other books are written....

              I like Tom and what he's done for this great game of pb, but he does not have a legacy. Tht titles reserved for people who cure diseases and things of that sort. And personally, I wouldn't be interested in a book about what TK did for AGD..............

                Interesting.... Where did you come up with the idea that in order to have a legacy, one must cure diseases and of that sort? A legacy is anything that is past on from someone... If Tom wants to relay what he knows and wants to pass it on... let him and that will become his legacy....

                As for curing disease... Who was the last person to cure anything? Besides the "accidental" finding of anti-biotics... What disease has been cured and who has written a book about it?

                I thought this was a free country and pretty much anyone who had a story could write a book.

                Just because you wouldn't be interested doesn't mean there isn't an audience for the book.... I've seen some crazy book titles at Barnes & Nobles and wonder why someone would write such a book; as a matter of fact, why would someone even publish it...

                The US is a melting pot of different nationalities, ethnicities and varying ideas; therefore, I presume most books would sell to a certain extent.....

                      Actually I was thinking about writing a book, but not about what I did in paintball. I was thinking a technical book about markers, sort of like the tech class on steriods. I read a book in the 70's called The Two Stroke Tuners Handbook that was really fantastic and cut through all the crap. What do you think about that?

                            Actually, I want to see a book on just Tom's stories. He has a bunch and they would make for great reading.
