Doubled. Another phenomenon I'm bugged by is when someone sends me mail
saying that some PD software house in Germany is selling MY browser on a
disk for $15 (or whatever it is in DM), and that's more than the $5 that
everyone "knows" is "fair". My response is "hey, that's cool. Give me
their address and I'll send them the latest version".

Some of them get really uptight about that.
