$ Hey Ken, lighten up.  If you liked the ADVERTISEMENT so much, then *YOU* pay
$ for it!  I sure as hell don't want to.  And I imagine that most of the other

 Then don't, drop binaries from your site.

$ to do somebody elses advertising for them!  And that is *all* that a demo

 That is ALL!, how narrow minded.  Because it isn't usefull to you it is

 The apology was for the people who didn't know what it was, not for posting
this usefull demo.

$ So, since you enjoyed that advertisement so much, can we site admins expect a

 No, but a simple thank you is certainly called for.

Thank you site admins, where ever you are.
