Letting people copy off my ftp server is not the same as giving permission
to others to put the same stuff up on their ftp server. You'll encounter a
lot of grief someday from people who use lawyers if you don't watch out. In
any case, I do have the FBI working this issue for me. Sorry, my writing is
my livelihood, and I intend to only release stuff for unlimited recopying
rights at *my* discretion. Note also the I was not the one who set up that
ftp site, and I only left it there temporarily because of se7ens little
scheme to try top keep me from competing with him.
