Sorry my attitude bothers you.  Stick me in your kill file, Richard.

This Richard guy certainly has a problem reading postings.  I've not
said a word about Usenet and my code.  I don't post it for a variety
of reasons, including the idea that I'm uncomfortable with the idea of
using Usenet for commercial stuff.

I merely state, again:  if you get shareware, and continue to use shareware
programs, either register their usage, or stop.  Why is that so difficult
for you to understand, Richard?

Sigh. The law says nothing about it, Richard.  Maybe in the future it will.
But, you're no lawyer, and neither am I.  On my part, I have too much self
respect to become a lawyer, on your part it's because the legal profession
has too much self respect for itself.

I stay away from the legal arguments simply because there's nothing there
that counts, one way or the other.  I merely prefer people to act in what
I consider an ethical way.  If you don't pay for a shareware program,
stop using it. That's all.  It's the right thing to do.  

That's all.  Using shareware without paying for it is wrong.  Paying for
the shareware you use is right.  If you're uncomfortable paying for shareware,
stop using it.

That's all.
