    Yes, there's always going  to be trade-offs between members charged
per word to download, vs. others who battle to get a link to work.

   D.S.M., this accident did not involve paying passengers being killed
in mid-air during a catastrophic break-up. Those future accidents are
the ones that will get the lurid front page headlines. Deaths of
climbers scaling Mt. Everest, & sky divers never stops a stream of new
entrants to those sports, so logically there is no reason that these
workshop fatalities should.  

          Of course, the media and life are not always logical.  If we
seek front page headlines for space travel firsts and achievements, the
other side of that coin is the same for our tragedies.    - Keith
