I feel your pain, Spence. I refuse to put up new torrents, for those same reasons. But I like to revive dead torrents, and most people hit & run. (Hurray for those few who pay it back, especially those who pay more than their share).
I'm glad you've worked out ways to get 'em out there.
I hesitate to pay for rapidshare, since I'm already paying for newsgroups. But I'll get copies of some of your stuff in the near future, and, if you don't mind, I'll post them on the newsgroups.
