Umm.... Isn't this what the problem was way back when ShrinkIt was first
introduced and the services didn't want to support it because they didn't
know how long you (Andy) were gonna support it?

Seems to me to be a not-very-nice thing you're doing here and you seem
to be sticking your tongue out over it. "Nyah, I got you beat and there's
nothing you can do cause i got CIS and GEnie on my side now!!"

Of course, I don't own a GS now and I probably never will, and I don't
even use ShrinkIt to archive anything, only unarchive, so I don't care
if it goes away, and of course until next May or so I will be able
to use Andy McFadden's new bugger, so what do I care? I don't know...
