I take your comment in the spirit of fun in which it was intended, Tim, but
think about it: do you think people buy my book because they are copying
behaviors? In other words, someone is in a bookstore watching you buy a copy
of Virus of the Mind and then proceeds to do the same thing? Or is there
something internal involved?

Nice to see you've come over to the G-meme side at long last, Richard! No
sense in basing a "memetic vote" on ideas held-in-the-mind when (buying)
behavior is how one *really* counts memes, after all... ;-)
