Stealing is stealing! If you take the original from the store and do not return it, that is stealing. (I assume this is why you return the original to the store.) By copying the original, you are ILLEGALY DUPLICATING COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL! YOU ARE STEALING! YOU ARE A SLIMY, LUMP OF BILE-RIDDEN EXCREMENT WHO SHOULD BE LOCKED AWAY WITH THE WORST REFUSE OF HUMANITY! I HOPE YOUR BOSS FINDS OUT ABOUT YOUR LITTLE PILFERING PROJECT AND HAS YOU LOCKED UP. I AM TEMPTED TO REPORT YOU TO THE NY STATE POLICE AND THE FBI AND ASK THEM TO INVESTIGATE YOU BASED UPON YOUR PUBLIC ADMISSION (reprinted above). I FOR ONE WILL *NEVER* PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM Pi-Rho America, Nor will I sell or allow to be sold to you any of my products. Should it *EVER* come to my attention that your company has sold one of my products I will take great pleasure in seeing you and your company dragged through the courts and prosecuted! I call upon all CSA readers to boycott your company and any products or services it produces. This kind of blatant irresponsibility on the part of people like yourself cannot be tolerated. Slime like you should be locked up! I don't like you! I urge everyone who reads this to mail a request to the postmaster at pawl.rpi.edu (whose address is: usenet@rpi.edu) to have your login canceled or, at least, your USENET privaleges revoked. You are a stinking theif! You are publicly advocating theft! You break the law and urge others to break the law; you should be locked up! (FLAME OFF!) Toodles. ARS. -- - Andrew R.
