No it refers to a little rhyme which children say (or did say, when I and Angus
were younger)

If I did that would be my business not yours.  Just to set your over-fertile
imagination correct. Whilst I admit I had exceeded the trial period for
registering Thor this was due, not from a desire to deprive the appropriate
author(s) of their rightful returns, more to my lazyness in that I just kept
putting off setting up a different newsreader. Given this I will, even though I
no longer intend to use it, register Thor.

Since you have decided to ignore the Piracy issue (which was the crux of this
thread) and instead have decided to become a crusader for shareware authors I
have a question. I now have one piece of unregistered software on my Amiga,
namely MiamiDX (though there is no time limit for unregistered usage). Please
advise me on how I can get this registered?

Anyway, read the header and weep you sad little man. (I actually removed the
keyfile prior to posting last night just to see your reaction).

And you will continue to wait until I can be bothered to dig them out. I am
certainly not going to drop everthing else just to satisfy your knowledge gaps.
