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?
