	What the HELL does anything I said have to do with not buying GS 
software?

	All I said was I glanced through a usually crappy magazine and it was a 
little better than usual (because it had cheap hard drive ads)..

	I used to be a total pirate and now have bought a few GS programs, and 
hope to buy a lot more...  And I'm not even buying the programs out of legal
reasons, I'm buying them out of moral reasons... The programs are WORTH buying
and the authors deserve money..

	Nobody can convince me that the authors of Paperboy GS and Gauntlet GS
deserve a cent! (not that I ever even touched those more than once and copied
over them very very quickly)

	I've probably turned 90 degrees in my views on piracy.. I
still think it's useful in testing out stuff for an extended period of time, 
but things that are worth paying for should be paid for..

	I repeat my main statement... My statements you replied to had
NOTHING to do with piracy, and you seemed to be calling me a pirate.
