and more about whether George Seto got slandered or whether he was wrong
to borrow software to test.  I'll stick up for George -- he is very
honest about software and is down on piracy.

As for borrowing, I wold trust George with commercial software and feel
that to do so is legitimate.  He has served as a user group officer and
has frequently reported on software, he has done comparisons and
presented them to the group.  He also works part-time at a computer
store.  He has done a lot for the ST community, and I think that
everyone here would be prepared to stick up for him (not many of us are
on UseNet though).

I think that snarky comments like Mike's are unwarranted.  It is a
pretty good bet that anyone who is a pirate will not report the fact to
this newsgroup.
