Sigh,
   The last responses have trickled in and the results are inconclusive 
at best.  To refresh your memories, I asked for people to send me a note
when they received my article.  I got 147 responses.  63% of the network
gets the news within 24 hrs.  81% within 48.  And 100% of those responding
got the article in 10 days.  The 147 responses represent 93 sites (slightly
under 2 replies per site on avg.  I got 7 from one site, only 1 from lots
of others.)
   Since everyone always claims that there are 100's (1000's?) of sites, I
can only assume that this is circumstantial evidence that there are leaks
in the network.  Big ones???  I suggest someone from another site try the
same trick and see how many responses they get.
   P.S.  I made it to ukc in only 2 days, but some European sites didn't get
it for another week+.  California in general doesn't respond.  Come-on guys,
surely you can stop gagging each other with spoons long enough to say hello?
