To conclude, then: Usenet is a poor source of shareware registrations
because, as the home of message exchange and SOURCE freeware, it neither
expects nor particularly welcomes shareware or any other commercial
software *distribution* at its expense.  Neither Usenet nor any other
existing medium has an obligation to "justify" its shareware
registration rate.  What a thought!

(As for "anti-virus" software, picture Joe Isuzu cruising by with red
pickup and bullhorn: "Ask him if it handles Twelve Triiiicks...")
