Subscription won't expire for another month. So, I guess posting them
will have to wait until then. Taking Luigi's advice, the sets will be
RAR'ed, rather than single-posted.
My main concern about my IP is that the billing company logs your IP when
you purchase a subscription. If so, and I do post, I'll need to make
sure that I use a proxy when purchasing again.
Fortunately, the name and billing address on the anonymous card I used is
from someone I randomly selected from the phone book. Since this
particular card is activated online, you can enter any valid info that
you want.
