Sorry -- Sorry -- Sorry!!!  JUMBO (http://www.jumbo.com)  made a really 
dumb mistake and consequently about 12,000 of our 64, 000 shareware 
programs have been un-downloadable for the last 10 days or so.  We really 
feel like jerks.

It's fixed now -- Please forgive us for the inconvenience.

The best way to feel less like jerks is to stop your inappropriate
advertising in these newsgroups (as I have asked you a number of times by
email).  Thanks for your cooperation.

What do you expect from people who use randomly generated garbage
for the poster's name so that mail will fail?
