For one thing, I never bothered to send mail to the counter, and I daresay many others either don't know about it or don't care. (People who get Slackware from the archive I maintain on APK or other dialup archives are unlikely to know about it, for instance.) Not to mention the people who get it via sneakernet... ++Brandon -- Brandon S.
