Dave there are many sites that requires registration to get documents, papers, reports, etc. That could be suspicious and you can be afraid of spam, but usually the motivation is to have demographic, statistical and commercial data about the people downloading the info. It can be seen as a "win-win" transaction while the personal info you give is for legitimate use and never sold or given to spammers. If you are concerned about the use of the data and don't want to give your *real* e-mail address, there are options of "instant email" addresses like [EMAIL PROTECTED] See http://www.mailinator.com Disclaimer: I am not affiliated in any way to Mailinator. Just a happy user of this service. regards Claudio On Sun, 2004-01-04 at 15:08, Dave Farber wrote: > I sent out prior to going to site. I await assurances of the use.
