Keywords: No one speaks for the net. Ross, I think you've gotten plenty of clear opposition to your or anyone else's posting shareware on the network, and everyone has agreed that the return rates are abomindable. Stop accusing the network of "trying to justify..." blah blah blah and just drop it. Yo are sending a clear message to thousands of net readers that you're insensitive to a large segment (10%? 20%? 60%?) of the folks who provide usenet to them, and that can't be helping the public image of your product. Yes, I carry shareware on my system, and yes, I do encourage it to be downloaded --true also that I get a cut of the proceeds of any registration fees earned by copies directly downloaded from my system. Suggest that you consider giving something of worth to the people who are helping you and your assistant earn a living off of peddling paranoia and fear.
