Dear John,
soory I have to correct you in this point. As you might recall i have ask 
you to please "don't mail because I have to pay it" but I never have asked
to post the whole stuff.
Instead I have asked you if I can send you a disk so you can copy it for me
on disk and send it via airmail to me.

I know that in earlier times several germans has behaved like this (I don't
want to exclude me) but we've learned from earlier mistakes. (At least the
guys I know).

You are right - if one or two request something it's wrong to post it so
others have to pay for it too.

If I would have enough money I would establish a direct connection to the USA
via highspeed Modems believe me, so I fully support the efforts to find a 
way of sharing the costs and one of us polls USA directly.

Yours,
	Axel
