Frank,

I just read and reread your editorial.  I fear that possibly many
people will misread it, overlooking certain key words and phrases,
such as "may" in "may serve to eliminate," "various interpretations,"
"foresee," "seems" in "more attention seems to be," etc.

The actual point of your editorial, with which I agree, is in your
last sentence, which should have been a paragraph by itself (starting
with the word, "However," and broken into several sentences:

    Micro user education is still a low priority activity in many
    areas, and software backup not a widespread practice.  With
    funding cuts a now and future reality, more attention should be
    given to defending against sabotaged programs.  Then, perhaps, the
    trend toward avoiding all forms of shareware could be reevaluated.
