Yes, you do...we just haven't told you yet, because we're part of The USENET FTP Conspiracy To Prevent Convenient Access To Neat Software. Just like you suspected all along, the world is out to get you. Good idea about the census...ok, everybody *without* ftp access, raise your hands. Lessee now, uh, I don't, that's one, you don't, that's two, uh, three, four....[count, count, count]. Ok, now everybody *with* ftp access...[count, count, count]. Ah, so. The *with* votes are in the minority (although numerically there are a lot of them). But they don't mind, because they've got software archives to keep them happy. Don't begrudge them that, or they may not mail it to you. (Confucius said that.)
