OK OKOKOKOK....I was wrong to discuss (mention?) writing disk-trashing software to upload to pirate boards; It was written in the extreme heat and anger caused by realizing that efforts to make the software easy to use (a very large effort), were helping those slime. It is a poor idea, etc. , etc. BUT....THEN I read what someone else posted to the net in response to my posting. YES, he noted that I was wrong (which was OK), AND THEN tried to speak of the HELPFUL SERVICES those pirates do, such as helping to de-bug software before the public has to, and other such wonderful things. Luckily, I've calmed down about the whole issue. I think i'll post my next program to pirate boards for beta- test.... Hack + Employ Michael
