I think it's worth making a distinction between copies of broadcast
material and copies of authorized commerical material.  One reason KaTe
material is hard to find in the stores is that it doesn't sell in volume.
By distributing pirate copies of commercial material, we reduce the number
of potential sales.  (I know all us KaTe fanatics buy commercial copies
even of our bootleg stuff, but we don't constitute a mass market.)  I wish
I could tell super dave where he can buy a legitimate copy of The Single
File; I don't feel good about people selling copies of it.

Chris, I already have copies of the Chistmas special, but I'd love to have
a -clear- copy.  Similarly for the other material, and especially the SNL
bits.  If you would, please put me on the list for the next tape tree.
