- I don't understand what's your problem, buddy. What U4ia did was to
- release his latest mods as shareware instead of Public Domain software.
- First of all, he didn't "advertise" his shareware deal on the network.
- Quite Frankly, I was the one who posted it for him. Why? because I
- believe his shareware deal (and his tragedy) should be realised by the
- public. It was just like someone posting something saying: "hey look,
- Edplayer has been announced!!! it's great. Get it;" or "DICE is
- an awesome shareware C compiler, get it!!" and of course "don't forget
- the shareware fee."
-
- If you think making such a joke (like the one above) was funny, well, I can
- tell you, I didn't laugh. I might have laughed... but it wouldn't be
- because I was laughing at your joke. It would be because I was laughing
- at you. You are just about one of the most insensitive people I have
- ever met on the net. Congratulations, buddy.
-
- (I realise this sounds like a flame, and I don't intend to perpentuate this
- flame. If you feel like arguing or defending for yourself, feel free to
- e-mail me.)

- Yours Sincerely,
- Kelvin
