Yeah....Yeah...Yeah...(Or is that Blah Blah Blah)....Like I said you
moron,  You dont need to send everyone your bullsh*t about how you are
trying to keep the program alive.  If you truely wanted to keep it
alive, you would have been selling it to the people who wanted to buy
it.  You say you only sold 2 copies?  I know at least 2 people who
tried to buy it from you and you put them on permanent hold.  Or you
would have released the code and licensed it that way.  But all you
want to do is sue people.  We all know that by now.

So bug off.  And besides, you can sue all you want.  The only thing
that will do is make people hate you more than they already do.

So quit whinning about Y2K (Which you have posted the same message
about since 1998) and get on with it.  (Most people can solve the Y2K
problem in 10 minutes yet you cant do it in 4 years!)
