YOU are full of SHIT! my friend. As a shareware author, I was offended 
when you posted wanting someone to do something for nothing and then 
complaining about having an unfinished product from someone who DID do it 
for nothing. You got what you paid for. 

Perhaps dead beat was a poor choice of words, but since there are a lot 
of wannabe's out there who will do things for nothing, you got exactly 
what you paid for. I was NOT referring to anyone in this newsgroup as a 
dead beat, and since many of them know me here, I am sure they didn't 
think I was referring to them. I was refering to the person who did you 
your FREE programing job.

DO NOT attempt to put your own interpretation on the meaning of my words. 
I, and ONLY I, can do that.

I highly resent you coming into a newsgroup that I have been a good 
standing member for several years, and tell everyone that I think they 
are all deadbeats. 

ass hole...

Go Away...
