[Athen] Alternate text question

[Robert Spangler]

As far as I'm concerned, if they are asked to sign a statement that they
bought the book, they're responsible for being truthful; I have
documentation they signed saying they've bought the book.  Clearly I'm not
a lawyer, so someone please let me know if this is not sufficient, but it's
not the only example in society where we sign things indicating that we are
telling the truth, so it seems appropriate.
