Hey now. I was just suggesting a course of action for the disgruntled. I think it is 
important to vote with your feet.  Tax payers
paid for the collection of this data, a certain sector of them are adept at using it 
for the common good.  Now, it is being
distributed in a format they can't read, slowly, while they read advertising.  I 
haven't run into this problem, but I can understand
their frustration.  You might want to address their concerns. This might be an 
appropriate forum.
