Now after you read this carefully tell my how on God's earth you can think that I am talking about programmers giving a program away???? I thought this group had so many so-called intelligent people??? I mention money as an incentive for publishing a program in my first paragraph, so how can anyone take it that I am talking about giving the program away??? But this first paragraph should be enough for anyone to get the message, but i add a final line at the end of my post that should leave no doubt. In effect I am not responsible because people do not have the ability to comprehend what they read. I thanks bruce moreland and david johnson for their post which got directly to what I was saying, the rest of you........Let jesus led you , and let welfare feed you because I don't need you!!!
