Hey Dennis! --

Thanks for keeping me on the EE380 announcement list.

However ... I'm surprised -- and almost "appalled" -- that you would give 
in to such an outrageous repression of the access to and openness of this 
"covert" presentation ... in a long-standing forum that is SUPPOSED to 
represent the BEST in open discourse and academic freedom.

SURELY what this guy has to say is not SO stellar, unique and invaluable, 
that it justifies dumping those laudable academic -- ACADEMIC! -- 
principles, and cowtowing to the  evergrowing excesses of "intellectual 
property"!

It's even more appalling, assuming that you have non-local EE380 
*students*, ENROLLED to take it as a telecourse!

Other'n that, hope allz well with you 'n' yours.  :-)
