Well, I've already spoken privately with SEVERAL "snarfers" on this subject,
and we'll just have to agree to disagree.  As I've stated (ad infinitum)
privately, I used to be a "snarfer" myself.  After multiple occurances of
going from the third floor in one building to the third floor in another and
not receiving a handout, I decided that _I_ was part of the problem and
stopped "snarfing".

I'm not arguing with your motives, and DO NOT expect anyone else to live up
to my self-imposed standard.  BTW, I've got about 200 pounds of useless
(because I didn't attend the session) hand-outs from my "snarfing" days.
 Want 'em?
