My god people....  Lay off Andy will you?

I am in awe of his previous accomplishments concerning P8 ShrinkIt!'s.  I
know what a bummer it is to write programs that are relatively small, but
he has written programs that took quite a bit of time and did it for FREE.
After all the work his doing with Shrinkit gs, I dont think it is unfair at
all for him to ask for a little compensation.  I dont recall anyone complaining
about what a sham ShrinkIt! was when you didnt have to pay for it.

By the same token, one must respect Andy McFadden for putting out HIS NuFX
program....  That also was no easy task, and if he wants to put it out for
free, that is his given right.

I guess my point is, if you dont feel like paying for ShrinkIt!, fine...
DONT, just dont complain about it....  Use the old one......

Im sorry if I offended anyone with this message, but im sick of all the
hippocrits who though that ShrinkIt! was the best thing since sliced bread
until the found out it might be worth a few dollars and instantly thought
Andy was some sort of highway bandit..

Scott
