Isn't this bloody illegal? -- it appears to at least flirt with mail fraud!
For the most part I have been quite satisifed with APDA, but this makes me
see red. (Almost as bad as when I think about the lack of support for
dashed lines in quickdraw, but that's another story.)
When I saw the notice in APDAlog, I assumed that there would be a general
outcry and APDA would be forced to reconsider. Apparently no such luck.
