No, actually. Because the cart system does require that you register, and since, as this thread notes, lots of people won't do that, we would have fewer downloads. If everyone did register for the download as well, we'd likely have a similar problem -- but during the period when we did require registration for downloads, we had a LOT fewer of them. I believe that the unfettered access tends to make folks just download it 'cause it's there. While I'm an archiver (that is, I get files for the purpose of archiving them), there are also folks who just download 'cause it's there. As for email addresses, well, I wrote the privacy policy for ODF. The only thing ODF can use an email addy for is the ODF newsletter (which, strangely, we don't have as yet) and contacting you regarding your order. But then, I hate spam, and I've had my identity stolen before, so I'm just a tad paranoid about personal information use, lol.

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
