In a private message to me, Paul Bartholdi pointed out a previously-
unaired argument in favor of electronic distribution.  I would like to
pass it on.

Even though $10 is not a lot of money, for people in Europe it can be
a lot of trouble to get the US currency, not to mention the time it takes
for the mail to get through.

It's a pity that this raging discussion didn't come up sooner, near
the beginning of the ANS process rather than near the end.
