Gary,
Couldn't you just save it to a file on a disk or something and just send
it to each individual person that wants it through email or something? That
way we could all save it to our hard drive for future reference. There's no
way to track that is there? Better than posting it and risking legal
problems down the road! I know it would be a pain to do it that way, but
the thought just crossed my mind so I thought I'd throw in my .02. Perhaps
it's not feasible because it would be so large of a file? I don't know. It
would be best I think to take individual requests even though it may take
some time (which you said you have lots of) and perhaps not too many people
would want a copy ( I know that I do though). Hope that helps some...
