>Let me restate - software pirates and thieves, pondscom or worse, and desrve to rot and writhe in agony. The software developer who pirates software so that he can make money is the worst kind of hypocrit - he believes he's entitled to profit from his work (and in reality from other people's work that he can steal) while other software authors are not. These people should be gang-raped with splintery wooden sticks as the prelimiany to their real punishment.

Ed,

I agree with your views on piracy, but really, get a grip!
