I had no idea that the notion of mentioning in the manual that not all
sources are available to all people would bother as many people as it
apparently does. I didn't need this myself, I was very aware when I bought
my BP what I could and could not access, but I could see someone in a
country such as Canada or anotehr country reading through the
documentation, pondering the purchase of a BP, seeing all these sources of
books listed, and it just not occurring to them that there would be
restrictions depending on geography. It would be a very understandable and
forgivable oversight, I would think.

I agree. All you're doing is pointing people to _sources_ and it's up to those persons to determine whether or not they qualify to receive materials from those sources. Since qualifications and requirements are always subject to change with any such organization, I don't feel that it's APH's responsibility to track and list them.

Maybe we should just leave the manual as it is with respect to this issue. Each organization has its policies and regulations, and I don't think we want to be in the business of keeping up with each of them.
