Sorry, Sean, but I never agreed to this. Your previous postings show that
I need worry only about copyright law.  As such, I'll free to modify your
code as I see fit, remove your name and stick somebody else's name in there,
and to ignore your disclaimer (which I never agreed to) and sue the living
daylights out of you if my computer even hiccups once your software has
somehow gotten onto my machine...

Ain't it astounding that swords have two sides to them?
