Nice site, especially the white text on black - it's much more relaxing for the eye.
Maybe a Print button would be a good idea - as it is now, half of each page is wasted because of the navbar to the left.
A "known bugs" section at the top after general description would be nice - even "no known bugs" can be added - at least it shows that the issue has been considered.
Last some spellchecking : You are missing a r in "thee main reasons" in the general desc.
Worse, your summing in the first table in REASON 2 doesn't add for "Before Inefficiency".

Take it with a grain of salt....like I said, it's been so long that I couldn't swear to it, but the above, or something very like it, was almost surely my line of thought.

I used this example specifically as I recall an old thread when someone was asking why his defensive armoured probes don't get direct bonuses in a duel, contrary to what he _understood_ from your copy. MariOne had to explain him several times how a probe combat works, as the idea that there may be an error in your guide was obviously too much for the guy and he thought he'd run into a bug... It was so funny...
Please don't get an impression that I dismiss your job, which is great, I'm just really allergic to people worshipping other people.
Anyway, why don't you drop by more often? I bet you'd still have a lot to contribute to on this forum.

Awwww, no worries man....  having been through four (sometimes painful!) iterations of the strat guide (and, a thing which amazes me, is that to this day it still sells regularly!), I've developed relatively thick skin when it comes to criticisms of various aspects of the book.
That, taken together with the fact that the meat of the guide was developed in the very halls we're speaking (writing) in right now, hammered and shaped by debates that raged here for months on end, I feel more than a bit confident that the vast majority of the work will continue to stand the test of time. With regards to the amazingly enthusiastic reception the guide has gotten (and continues to get), I am both humbled and amazed. Never in my wildest imaginings did I foresee the insanely positive reactions it's gotten. It almost makes me scared to try and write a guide for any other game, for fear that I'll have to do better than this one! 
And I appreciate the offer to come around more. Who knows....once Candle'Bre is released and I have more time to myself again, I just might take you up on that.
Oh...and I have no idea when, exactly, but if Sid & Co. decide to shelve plans for SMAC2, I think that, or something very like it, would be an excellent target for Velocigames' next conquest....

Keep writing.
SMAC/X just to be able to tweak the dumb AI 
a bit. I'd love to have a chance to code a good AI and believe me I have a lot of ideas 
for it even in addition to your strategy guide (which would of course form some base of it). Certainly my AI would be scripbtale plus auto-learning from the games played.
Need to think of a new name then.
