Considering Boris has openly admitted on-list to never having bought a TSR
book (instead relying on bootleg net copies), it should be obvious he
doesn't care. He can just "T$R" and "HA$BRO" away so far as I'm concerned.

>From what I recall, Boris said there would be a site that gave away the ESD
downloads. Assuming he found it, and inferring from his "half-Arcane" quip,
www.adnd.ru was likely a site that gave a way illegal versions of the pay
downloads. I may be wrong.

I just visited the address to see what it was, and it says "Russian Team
AD&D" with the rest of the page in Russian. [shrug] Must be something.
