San Jose, CA Lines: 10 Here's a vote against the wholesale slaughter of shareware. Our site gets quite a bit of utility out of some of it. Also, the point that the poster isn't the original author (in 90% of the sample) is well taken. I have no problem with a brief request for funds that appears in the startup screen of a mac application, but would object to a message posted to news asking for money. Maybe we can draw the line there? -- David W. Smith {nsc,ucbvax}!tolerant!dws Tolerant Systems, Inc. 408/946-5667 [Standard Disclaimer]
