I have my doubts. 
Its a lot of work,  emailing 1,500 folks,  waiting for replys,  
talking   X%  of them out of asking for money. 
(a free copy of the CD seems fair to me, but 1,500 free CDs might kill em.     
1,500 fewer sales. and a snail-mail nightmare.) 

With the standerdised  map info form, 
it's EASY for the BOTS to scan the forms, as Nut did, 
and delete any 'nut's  :-)  who might cause trouble. 

Also easy for the CD interface to call up the builders name, 
or compile a list of single-player maps, or duke-match maps, 
or the other bells & whistles, all untouched by human hands. 

But i like the collections. For me they're easyer to use than surfing the web. 
And at $10, i doubt they're making enough money to cut 1,500 royalty checks.
