Is there a version of whatever this is that *isn't* on scribd?

There's a download button.

It doesn't work.

By "doesn't work" I mean that after turning on JavaScript for scribd.com, it tries to pop up a menu over the top of the Flash embed. But popping up anything on top of embedded Flash doesn't work in my browser (FF3 with Gnash on Linux), so I use AdBlock to block the embedded Flash. Then the download menu offers me a "PDF" option. Clicking on that ought to give me a file download; instead, it pops up a box prompting me to sign up for an account with Scribd.

In short, Scribd is a privacy-invading pain in the ass. So, is there a copy of the document that isn't on Scribd?

Yes, there's a version of it in your inbox. Enjoy.

Thank you! That was amusing and interesting. I'm amazed that Apple continues to have such excellent user experiences despite such abysmal quality problems.
