}Thanks, I will keep your name and address on file so I can circulate it with
}the lists of known and/or admitted SOFTWARE THIEVES which several developers I
}know maintain!  Stealing is stealing!  If you take the original from the store

}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

    Boy, doesn't this make you wanna run right out and post your opinion 
    on the subject?  Just make sure it agrees with Andrew's, or he
    might tell on you...

    Last time I checked, USENET was supposed to be a place for INTELLIGENT
    discussion of topics, and was, in general, above this sort of name
    calling and threatening.  (Richard Sexton not withstanding of course...)

}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

    Who-GAS?

	<I deleted the rest of this tripe, in the interest of sanity>

}I don't like you!  

    Thats ok, I have atleast a half-dozen CSA readers right here in my
    office that dont like you.  So go soak your head already, and move
    this garbage to somewhere it'll be appreaciated, like alt.Who-GAS.
