(existing nonsense has been left out..)

Jonathon:

This is good way to get yourself flamed out of existence here.  Are you
really that foolish and ignorant to say that those who write software
(other than large companies) are not intitled to distribute there works
for a fee?  If this is the case we might as well demand that all books
be given out for free since I can read them for no charge at the
Library.  No sense paying for it if they don't have to.  Except what
about those of who survive day to day by doing such composition or
programing?  

Can you write programming code?  So you obviously have no clue to what
sort of time is included.  Not to say that I do..I just hope that
others like yourself don't screw it up for people who need innovative
software solutions.  

Just another bad apple asking for a freebie.     

  +++ You just won the honor of my _kill_ file.+++
