Copy & paste doesn't work. Trying to email it to myself results in nothing happening. >Given that the source is likely just a PDF, posting a link to it >somewhere is a lot less painful than using Scribd. It's like >they (Scribd) asked the question "how can we best come between >site-visitors and the content our users want visitors to view?" >resulting in this solution.

Exactly my thoughts. This company has a solution to a non-existent problem. >From the FAQ: My account has been suspended/terminated for abuse! Will I get access to my documents? All documents belonging to users that we have terminated for abuse are deleted at the point of termination. Scribd will not provide backups or access to these deleted documents. How does Scribd define "abuse?" Abuse is any activity that detracts from Scribd, or Scribd's community. IOW, your documents may vanish at the whim of Scribd, and they cannot be recovered. -rex --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
