You forgot you get money for Ruffian?
Read again, Frank. I'll quote for you:
>>it is better than previous available version is not a professional behaviour.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Do you think that being professional is only about getting money. You're

Freeware authors can release crap and more crap if they want. That's not an
excuse for you, as you ask for money. Get the difference?
