As is very usual with all your post not directly referred with programming, Bruce, yours commenting mine about piracy is full and tainted with a hard, solemn, harsh style very unpleasant to read. I am somewhat bored to read your post delivered almost always as made in your own Sinai mount, with God at your side. The tone, Bruce, with which you tend to post here is too much arrogant, as coming from the TRUTH that you have directly from Divine sources. I must confess that is difficult to hold that with calm and even more to think that a guy like you, so prone to deligitimate positions of other people, is a "moderator". I say all this because your words about my post suggest I am trying to give reasons fort stealing programs, and so, you are saying bluntly that I am dishonest and trying to get support from the rest of the people here for my actions. By the way, I think dishonesty tends to be a lot nearer the solemn guys that pontificate about moral. All I did was to do some reasonning about the differents conditions that surround the adquisition of software, the realities that surround that activity. You can qualify as you wish people, but with that you don't go a simple step towards understanding. To say of insinuate that a guy that receives an old software given to him as a gift is Always a kind of burgler is something that goes beyond common sense. When you are a guy -as I am- that expend hundreds of dollars each year supporting this industry , then to become a thief because I have got -yes, I did, prepare your fire platoon, sir- one program for free, from a dear friends of mine that, as me, expend a lot of money, seems to me to be sheer nonsense. Yes, I got sargon V for free, a pirated copy to be sure. I have bought, only this year, no less that six chess softwares, but according to your criteria I am a thief, no matter that you cannot get sargon V in the market anyway. Piracy, as anything else, is a matter of grades, conditions, shades. Even a child understand that. You just cannot come here to stablish an absolute truth and then to qualify nobody with your private parameters. Now, sir, do what you want with the "power" you have as moderator, although I expect from you something higher and better. Fernando
