Thanks for including me in such celebrated company. 

You have every right not to believe me. You don't know me
personally... just as neither you nor I knew George Washington.

However, I have a  history in the usenet computer gaming groups that
goes way back into the comp.sys.amiga  days  You might want to poke in
the old PC and Amiga usenet archives for my opinions on piracy. I have
a large collection of games all legitimately acquired, the largest
proportion being from the "bargain-bin". I mostly play SP games, so a
few months delay before playing does not bother me... and gives time
for a few patches.
