Hi Rufus,

Thanks for your response. It makes sense to avoid overloading this list.
People who are interested in getting the updates can subscribe to my blog's
RSS feed <http://livinglibre1.wordpress.com/feed/> or to the Free Culture
discussion list <http://lists.freeculture.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss>.

Cheers,
