There have been a couple of messages over the last week (I just deleted 
my four meg ranma-ml mailbox last night, so I can't quote the message) 
about the ftp site for the fan translations.  There was a little typing 
error in them, and the correct address, for all you people like me who 
didn't already know it, is <ftp.hacks.arizona.edu>.  (Thanks Kev!)

Anyways, here's my question for the day:  if Viz owns the North American 
rights to Ranma 1/2, then how legal is the sale, in North america, of the 
original japanese version manga, which isn't distributed by Viz, or the 
officially licensed Mandarin version, which isn't distributed by Viz 
either?  Just curious.
