It is only through a national distribution system making promises of certification for recipients of the material that any of us gets any free electronic text. It would be great if there was some kind of sharing mechanism, but, I am glad for what we have. Maybe, those of you not in the U.S. should try to work through your various equivalent organizations/government entities to come up with global solutions. Those of us in the U.S. should try to do the same so that we can get information from other countries.
