[f_minor] Follow-up to Anita's Q

[Anita Monroe]

Dear All,

The only reason I know about mailing stuff to Sweden is because I have a
friend who lives there - in a desolate northern region.  She is hiding out
from unpleasantness in the US.  When I send little gifts to her, the post
office has to check out each item.  The postman told me that CD's are
watched careful because of piracy of intellectual "products".
