Fruit was entirely other reasons, one being they used this forum as a marketing tool, thus the reason I removed many of those posts. It was against the charter. They chose sales over the integrity of this forum by totally disregarding the charter about commercial sales advertising. If I was Steve, I would have been _severely_ pissed at that group. It was nothing more than a slap in the face to him. I will _never_ purchase Rybka. Again this forum is being used as a marketing tool and I am disgusted by it. It _was_ marketted right out of this forum, and the users were the unknowning culprits. I prefer to purchase programs where the author shows a shred of decency and honour by not raping this forum for monetary gain. Since I am a moderator though I can't state that I just did above. Apparently to some here, one being a former moderator, I am not allowed to have opinions while in this position. So you can just disregard all of the above :) Peter
