[Scan-DC] 15$

I must be on the wrong mailing list.  At one point, I thought this list had
something to do with the scanning hobby.  Looks like nothing but a bunch of
lawyers out here now.

Anyone care to discuss the scanning hobby?

Just a heads up, posting the whole content of an article like this violates
the copyright law, and the Post has followed up on other people who have
done this on other lists I'm on.  Not prosecution, but warnings to not do
it again.

I'm sure you were trying to be helpful.
