Well, he certainly needent be particularly discusted by my lack
of registration, as I did register. I even sent everything in
the package with the money order to make is super easy to send
it on it's way to me. I wrote nice, albiet short messages, as in
'where is my UUxT, is it on it's way yet' etc. I already knew
he was swamped with stuff to do, that's why I sent the disk stuff
with the money order.

I don't think it is proper for shareware authors to dismiss the
Amiga community that do try to support them. I used to think
there were a lot of knackered Amiga useres for not supporting
our sharware authors, now my eyes are opening, that maybe it's
not wholey the users at fault. Maybe if some authors cleaned up
their act, they have more registrations.

Thanks for your time in getting back to me.
