Hi Vardhan,

I agree that arbitrarily banning users of some free e-mail services
from downloading the specs is a Bad Idea, and I can't really see the
thought process behind such a restriction.  The additional delay of
``upto 72 hours'' in sending a mail to the appropriate address to
download the specs is another irritant -- we don't live in the Stone
Age anymore, and 72 hours is a long time to have to wait for documents
from the 'net.

In any case, implementing this idea is impossible due to the
proliferation of free web-based e-mail services.  You could get an ID
from any of a 1000 or more e-mail providers which aren't in
simputer.org's database and download the specs.

Have a look at http://www.palcommail.com/ for a start :-)

Regards,

-- Raju
