The question is what will people value more. A looong time ago, I saw that when we had tons of giveaways, they ended up in the trash on the way out.. but when we had a limited number of them and people had to 'earn' them somehow (nothing silly just help someone answer a question on Linux) there was a lot less give-away trash at the exits. That is completely anecdotal so I don't know how true it is.. but I was just wondering if it might be a better bang. -- Stephen J Smoogen.
