- What sort of shit is this? Just because you are incapable of doing
- something, you have no right to expect someone else to do it for you

- John made no fast buck. Everyone who stole his software did. They
- got away without spending time (==money) writing the stuff themselves.

- Would you ever get out of John's face; he wrote one of the most
- popular pieces of software out for the arc, and people screwed him
- over it. He has a reason to be pissed. You have no reason to
- complain; you benefitted.
