@ct_bergstrom I knew someone (a long time ago) who claimed to have a book with the definitive explanation of, and solution to, The Irish Problem.

He said he couldn't find anyone willing to publish it.

He reckoned this was because no publisher wanted to be bombed, so they were self-censoring.

(An alternative explanation, of course, might have been that none thought his book was good enough to be worth publishing.)

@TimWardCam "my solution will provoke bombings" and "my solution isn't very good, and publishers recognise that" aren't mutually exclusive, so he could have been part right.

@armb It wasn't that he couldn't write, as something else he wrote and was passed around the family as a typescript was well above the writing quality of yer average modern self-published book.
