[a long post about the virtues of EconData]

I won't repost my own comments, but lest anyone think me an ingrate, I 
applaud what INFORUM at Maryland is doing.  They have maintained an archive 
of economic statistics and distribute it FOR FREE to all who ask.  For this 
we should be grateful, and I am.  My post was only to agree that the 
updating of the material is quicker on EBB, and that EBB is provided at 
UMich for free.  Your choice of which source to use should be guided by your 
demands for the data:  recent stats to read and update from are probably 
more easily gotten from EBB, but archival material is best obtained from 
EconData.  If Mr. Beekman takes offense at this, I am sorry, but I was asked 
for my opinion, and this is it.
