I agree. Demos that are crippled should not be posted.  Especially demos that
can be obtained from the author/developer/distributor by just asking for it
or sending a disk.  Like Al said, demos like PSPICE fall in this category.

I don't agree with 15 part Moria and Hack postings but that's just a personal
bias.  And If I have one Unix rm clone, I see no reason for seeing so many 
of these utilities posted that do essentially the same thing.
