WOW!! And I thought *I* was the only one with this mentality. Sheesh!! Some
people will NEVER come down off of their high horse about SO CALLED software
piracy. If that's what it's called then so be it. I have always looked at it
like this; if you can get it get it. I've bought more than my share of chess
software. A couple of freebies or trades isn't going to kill anyone. People
shouldn't be made to feel the shit just because they ask for software. If I
have anything that somebody wants, all they have to do is ask. If that makes me
a bad guy, then I gues that's what I have to be. I sleep well at night anyway.
