So true. Robert I have a tall stack of magazines that will show up in your
mailbox soon. As you recall from when you were here last month, I have
not yet figured out how to dispose of them.

The irony of intellectual property goes even to this. If I were to scan
the article
and email it to Samantha, I would feel as though I were stealing the
magazine's
IP. Yet I feel no similar pangs of guilt for actually sending the
entire magazine
thru the post. Ideally I suppose, others who read the original citation
might pay
3 bucks and buy the mag off the shelf, of which the publisher might get
a few
cents.

A madness *starter* perhaps. {8-] spike
