Excuse me, but I really think that Woodhead deserves better treatment
than that.  I considered the tone of his article as informative,
not trying to make himself richer.  Seriously, if he were only in
it for the money, would he have made one of the most commonly-used
virus-checking programs and only asked for a donation to the
Vision-Fund if it helped you out?

Please, don't post this sort of trash flaming people.  Comp.sys.mac
has enough volume already.
