|Are you nuts ?   I read your previous posting and order form.  Do you

Is there anybody interested in getting this BLATANT PIRATE to court? Is
CBM interested in doing that?  This is the kind of operation that should
be SHUT DOWN before it even starts to operate.  Note that since he is
trying to do this through the US Mail system he could be charged with violation
of a number of federal laws (fraud, etc...).  Let's get this jerk off the face
of the earth :-)
