| You repeatedly deny PIRACY is a problem
| That is as DAMAGING as actually PIRATING games


You repeatedly deny that COPY PROTECTION will help solve the problem
That is completely HYPOCRITICAL and NONPRODUCTIVE

| STOP DENYING PIRACY IS A MAJOR PROBLEM IN PC GAMES!
| STOP DENYING PIRACY IS A MAJOR PROBLEM IN PC GAMES!

YOU need to face the facts
If piracy is the problem, as you rabidly repeatedly claim, you should 
support any efforts to eliminate it rather than pointing to it as evil.

Seriously, dude...  Your rants can be pretty amusing at times, but if you 
are hoping to stop all piracy by somehow miraculously converting those of us 
who are usenet regulars...  There's still 99.99% of the gaming population 
who will never know or hear of you or your crusade, and will never EVER be 
affected by it - you are a whisper in a hurricane.  But hey, if you gave 
copy protection and anti-piracy advocating services (yes, such as STEAM) a 
chance, EVERY potential PC gamer would be affected, and it would actually 
have a chance of making a difference.  It may be an inconvenience, but it 
will certainly be more effective than your rants.

For some strange reason I keep hoping some common sense will sink in...  But 
then I've always been an overwhelming optimist.
