I want to refresh everyone's memory on
some of the Do's and Don'ts of forum:
DO delete most of the quoted text when
replying - just about everyone has read
the original message, there is no need
at all to quote the entire message or
even half of it. Especially if you're
posting your reply at the top of your email,
take a second to scroll down and delete

on dialup, some in Europe who pay for
the local phone connection to their ISP
by the minute - be courteous and take
that extra moment before hitting Send.
(This is the # 1 reason new members stay
on moderation - delete that quoted text
and you'll get unmoderated.)

From a practical obersvation point of view, the only way that DRM works if you have a rotating encryption system that changes every year, and has an interface that is not client-machine dependent but individual person dependent and that the key information if released can somehow compromise the individual person's finances in some way to help get them not to hand it out to friends and relatives. ...

I can't see where Karen's point of view comes from: 1. There have been increasing numbers of free eBooks every year. 2. There have been increasing numbers of paid eBooks every year. 3. There have been increasing sales of paid eBooks every year. The only thing that ever decreases is with the dedicated hardware eBook readers, which never competed well with laptops, PDAs, or now even with cell phones. 15,000 FreeBooks [TM] at http://www.gutenberg.org ...
