1) I basically agree on this;
2) WC could have asked ... this was the mistake, if any;
4) My Copyright is there to avoid publishing I'm not aware of: they
should have mailed each of us, I agree, but that's all;
3) if they point to my ftp site (which is in the FAQ), I think ppl
will grab the current copy. That's enough for me. If they want to
send me their cd-rom, well, I'll be glad and thankful for this.
Save your energy to sue those who make real money from your work,
whitout telling anything not only to you but to the net, too.
After all, WC posted on the net their offer for a free copy,
and we ended up knowing it. Be more pragmatic, folks :)

Bye,
