	All of this violent talk about binding amputation. If my computer had a 
v-chip I would have missed it all!

	Correct me if I'm wrong but the binding amputation (sounds like a legal 
term, no?) will only be necessary for the non-stapled issues. The 
stapled issues can have the staple carefully removed and replaced after 
being scanned. Unless the resulting page is to large?

	What percent of the Rainbows were stapled?
