As Mr. Speedy D.'s return address is non-functional, I must reply to his enquiry via the entire network, in the style established by his naughty grammo. Mr. Speedy D. asks me whether he might defy the procedure for obtaining the Peitgen tapes, sending me a large sum of money to purchase shipping materials for him. Mr. Speedy D. should be informed that the answer is "no." I am not Mr. Speedy D.'s student worker. If Mr. Speedy D. is not content with the present arrangements, he is welcome to figure out something better and do the work--for free--himself. If Mr. Speedy D. is representative of the FRAC-L community, why, then, we can take a plebiscite as to whether or not the Peitgen tape proejct should continue. -- KLC.
