  11. |                                               I've always thought it 
  12. |rubbish, it's like me walking up to you and say "If you blink you own me 
  13. |10 dollars", naturally that doesn't work.

  15. (Still gasping at the leap of logic)
  16.  
  17. So, what you are saying is that intentionally downloading a piece of
  18. shareware (that ought to be clearly marked as shareware), going through
  19. the trouble of installing it on your MP, reading the ReadMe file (or
  20. pointedly ignoring it), running the package, and observing the shareware
  21. registration screen over the next 30 days (or whatever the trial period
  22. is) is comparable with an autonomic response like BLINKING?  
  23.  
  24. So tell me, do you take *any* responsibility for your actions?
