- You're quite right. I don't feel so great when I've just gone out and paid
- good money for a program and come back to a person who says, "Oh yeah!

- that the program really is worth the money, but it seems sort of unfair
- to those of us with decent MORALS out here. I suppose I could simply
- compromise my morals... :-)
