You've been complaining about Verizon's practices here for a long time. You've complained about them officially. You made a website, for anyone on the Internet to read, and announced it to hundreds of members here. I think it's obvious that you find the issue to be a big deal. And since this page is your way of publicizing that issue, then the page is a big deal (perhaps not as big, but still important). > Back to the PDF discussion.

You mean the content is there, but does not look the way you wish, right? Converting to PDF (or other format) won't change the facts or timelines that you write about, as Gabe and others have pointed out. What you're talking about above is the presentation of the content, not the content itself. I will grant that the presentation of the work can have an affect on the retention on the part of the reader. -- PGP Fingerprint: 0AA8 DC47 CB63 AE3F C739 6BF9 9AB4 1EF6 5AA5 BCDF PGP public key: <http://www.mike-leone.com/~turgon/turgon-public-key.gpg> Conform or be cast out.
