I haven't, and I don't know that I've felt the need.

I should ask you, though -- what makes you think you should or might want to?

Right.  What value does that bring to you, exactly?  Usually: Very small returns per sale, increased exposure, and difficulty selling your product in venues where it tries to sell at full price.

There's been an EXCELLENT thread recently about why you might want to dodge distro altogether.  Usually I hate answering questions with a link, but this one's solid gold (and is on this very same forum): http://www.indie-rpgs.com/forum/index.php?topic=24751.0
