   I leave the T there for a reason. It is a copywrite protected title you   
   know. As are the contents of each issue. Those who read the damned thing   
   over the air don't include the text of the breaks which I conclude are not   
   copywrite protected.

   I know that it is a script, which is why I edit out the break text. No   
   need to have that in a user's read only version.

   In FTN technology, the reader can be left open, even saving your 'gotta   
   go' place for you. You don't need a chunk of text telling you when to go   
   to the bathroom.
