I also had a similar response from Frank.

I am concerned just what changes Frank is proposing to make. It would
seem that he is building a HTML version and also including the original
ASCII version. I think I would want to approve the changed version.

The price is going down. He quoted me $18. In any event, I am sure that
a CD placed into a padded bag would be light enough to post at the
normal rate. It doesn't have to be sent via express air mail. I have
received CDs from the US like this without any harm.

It appears to me that he wants something for nothing. Whilst I agree
that Frank should be applauded for asking first, I think I shall
continue to refuse permission for my FAQs
