That accusation boarders on slander.  You are accusing this person of
having committed a crime, in front of tens of thousands of people.
And all because you misinterpreted his request.

J.J, if you have access to any of the commercial timeshare services,
such as CompuServe, GEnie or BIX, the maps and spell lists (and hints
and discussions etc..) are available there for the cost of the
download.  Also, there is a commercially-available hint book, which
you can probably get from the dealer where you bought the game.  If
you would like more specific information about any of the services,
e-mail me and I will be glad to send it to you.

For the sake of Mr. Lapadula, and anyone else who doesn't know,
Dungeon Master does not *come* with "maps and spell lists", they have
been compiled by users and widely circulated.  Next time, Mr.
Lapadula, you should know whereof you speak before making such a
serious accusation.  While I abhore software theft as much as anyone,
impuning a person's reputation in a public forum, based on your
misunderstanding of an innocent and legitimate request, is no less
serious a matter.  If nothing else, you owe J.J. Lehett a public
apology.
