An interesting figure, $10.  As I recall, that is what I paid, less shipping for the POS
UntieCom you authored (S/N 00227 - I have the diskette in front of me).

Indeed!  I spent numerous hours trying to install the thing, and when every attempt
failed, I emailed you for advice on how to get it installed - not do anything useful,
mind you, just get it installed.

The rather absurd response I got from you suggested I spend additional hours 
making a complete inventory of all the software on my system, printouts of my
config.sys and autoexec,bat, and a few other equally stupid printouts, AND SNAIL-
MAILTHEM TO YOU.  

Now, I ask you, is there anyone dumb enough to comply with such a foolish
*demand* in order to get a $10 software program INSTALLED (again, not 
necessarily working, just installed)?

So, I ask again, do you intend to reimburse me for the cost of the software and 
shipping, or for the time necessary to compile all the listings you required just to
get advice on how to install the thing?   Were mine the only case in which you 
made such absurd demands, I would have long since chalked up the entire matter 
to experience, and just framed the diskette with a Cavaet Emptor logo surrounding
it.  IT WAS NOT!  In fact, UntieCom was the topic of considerable discussion on 
FidoNet and a large local BBS for quite some time - 99% of it negative, and many of
the complaints were the same as mine - the POS would not even install!

Perhaps I should post the correspondence I received from you, and that forwarded 
to me by others, so that everyone can decide for him/herself just who is shitting 
whom here!

>What about our wage losses if it takes us half a day?

Indeed!  Trust me here, I spent a lot longer than that trying to get the thing 
installed, and that doesn't count a minute of the time I'd have to have spent
compiling all the foolish data you *required* if I wanted to get the thing 
INSTALLED!
