I expect they are used to people faxing individual articles to each
other.  You know and I know that telling someone to buy a copy
is cheaper than faxing an article, but this is a *business*person's
journal:-).   Apart from anything else, even if they were faxing
copy internally, they *surely* wouldn't be doing it with finished
proffs would they?
