>I am totally against software piracy. My postings here and on the newsgroups will show this. However, if someone asks a technical question, we shouldn't ask "Do you have a legal copy of the software?" before answering the question. I assume they are legal and answer the question. That's the approach we should take.

That's not the first question off our fingers. It's when the same person gets on there time and again and keeps asking questions that are answered in the MSDN kit that comes with VFP and you start referring them to that and they go "What's that?". So you tell them and say it comes with VFP and they are clueless.
