Well, "them" is really "us" right?  Do you want 70% of the people who pay
your expenses to not want to you to buy something?  I betcha I'm not the
only one that gets the ProRally results in the mail, glances at 'em, then
throws 'em away.  I'm sure it doesn't cost a ton to get me those results,
but I betcha across all the Pro licence holders for the year it becomes
real money.

The point with the phone and english speaking and all that was to point
out some other things that are the responsibility of the receipient, not
that we have some huge disenfranchised homeless french canadian solo group
just waiting to pounce... :-)
