Did I ever actually deny piracy was a problem ? Check all my postings for that denial.... Piracy has been a problem ever since the dawn of commercial computer applications. It was rampant in the days of the AtariST, the C64, the Amiga, the early DOS days, the Win95 days, the Win98days, the Winme days, the WinXP days..... So, you are like a wolf baying at the moon and even less effective. You bring nothing new to the antipiracy argument. It has all been said (and heard) before. Do you really know how much people on these newsgroups actually detest your postings <<regardless of their content>> especially your assumption that all the readers must be illiterate morons requiring CAPITAL LETTERS and repetitive rants ? I guarantee that the condescending style and content of your postings will not convince anybody currently pirating computer games to change their ways. In fact, your ranting about piracy is highly likely to encourage somebody who otherwise would not pirate to actually pirate a game and then boast about it here just to trap you into slobbering and frothing again........... Your reactions are SO predictable. John Lewis
