To Elizabeth Rather c/o Dennis:

1. I believe Nick Solntseff's comment was that it took five hours of printer
time, not five hours of labor on his part.

2. The electronic BASIS seems to become available before printed copies, and
some of us think these extra days are worth a little effort.  (Once burned,
forever shy, or something like that.)

3. At any rate, you've obviously not had much experience with Canada Post, and
the synergistic delays they can create with the U.S. Postal Service.  Two
weeks is not unheard of for mail; we've experienced delays of up to five weeks
within Canada, and three months for packages from the U.S.  (You may recall
that I once arranged to pick up a copy in person at Forth Inc.)

- Brad
