John, let me repeat: I don't post my stuff on Usenet for a variety
of reasons. If my stuff has ever been posted on Usenet, it is without
my permision and without my knowledge.
I'm not trying to sell anything to anyone -- except for trying to simply
state that, if you don't register whatever shareware you use, you should
stop using it.
It's just that simple.
Everything else posted, whether or not Usenet should except shareware or
not, etc., well, that's just verbiage that seems to sidestep the simple
solution: if you don't like it, don't use it.
Period.
