After reviewing the TI site and finding several interesting technical
papers, I'm siding with Andy and Erik. The TI site may be a commercial
operation, but there's useful information free to all.

But I agree with Brian about the matter of "out of office" email
auto-responders. They hog bandwidth and waste all our time. Can their
use please be restricted?
