 Well i received around 25 emails asking for Rybka and that was after the
deadline.... I've never responded and ingored everyone. Sorry if any of you that
asked Rybka from me read this, it was nothing against you but just i didn't have
time to email 1.9 MB to 25 persons and i was not sure if it was legal anyway.

 So no need to change address or getting nuts or whatever, just do not
respond........
