Hello Uri,

Do you read your posts BEFORE you post them?

I promised to leave your rather strange posts alone but you are saying a number
of things here that are making me curious.

(a)  Why are you inferring that the poster was searching for cracked versions of
Fruit?

(b)  I cannot understand how the fact that some thief somewhere is working on
cracking Fruit makes the copy protection of Fruit a bad idea.

(c)  One might infer that your statement about the likely procedures of hackers
could be restated (using your own logic of course) as:

One cannot say that hackers may do or not do this or that, one can only say that
one has received cracked programs in this or that way.  I am sure that you have
not received same but you do see that your language leaves the poster's
integrity up for debate.

Of course, you may complain about this post.

Later.
