Silly (and perhaps a bit off the subject) question time:

    I) Does this mean that Dr. Dobb's is now an "export restricted" item,
       and thus can not be mailed to any non-US subscribers?

   II) Does this now mean that Comp-U-Serv must restrict non-US subscriber
       access?

[Well, I _did_ say this was silly.  :-) ]
