Calling people names requarding their sexual preference is going to get
alot done about piracy.  Saying they are brainless, etc, drug addicts,
all that crap.  That helps the piracy situation!  Keep up your
wonderful campaign.

We know about his actions, he posts his announcements to this
newsgroup.  Do you have to make fun of a murderer to make his action
criminal?  Everybody already knows.  If you are so strongly against
piracy, please contact a copyright lawyer, the owners of every illegaly
uploaded software, and the police.  They are the people who handle
these things.

You have a great purpose in life.

Call the police.  Contact the District attorney in your area and file a
complaint.  Contact the people who own the software that is illegally
available and have them prosecute.  Effective?  More so than throwing
mud.

No it does not.  It just goes to show that your "efforts" (term used
very loosely) are futile.

Thats the first thing you've written that makes any sense!  You tell
readers what is bad...What is good.  Effective!  Keep it up.

I remember the good ol' days.  They are gone and the GS wasn't upgraded
to modern standards, so we're stuck with hobbyist programmers coding
things for our computers.  Did piracy hurt the GS?  Yes.  In my opinion
the software market would be just as dead as it is now even if piracy
didn't hurt the Apple II long ago.

No, I wasn't given the right to distribute it to others.  That is why I
keep it on my hard drive and use it every day, but I haven't even
hinted at what the software is.  I signed an NDA, non disclosure
agreement.  I would have followed the authors wishes even if not for
the NDA.  I wouldn't want to hurt development on anything or go back on
my word.  I could upload the software now that the developer threw his
GS away and doesn't plan to support or release the software, and the
author wouldn't care.  I could even get him to reclassify the stuff if
I wanted to.  I like having software that others don't.

You don't care about other readers who read your posts?  Maybe Turley
hurts every apple II user (thats what others have said)...You hurt
every II user on this newsgroup.  Two wrongs make nothing.

I'm sure I can come up with over 100 domains with 1000 usernames from
each to post your crap to your beloved Delphi.

Let me know what your buddies think of it.  Watch for the posts on
Delhpi, I'm moving it over there.  Rest assured, I'll go next door and
post from my buddies computer and ISP.

So scare newsgroup readers away so that when new software is announced,
nobody is there to read the announcement so that they can go buy it!

Ok, I've outlined a few ideas above.  Why not start a thread about it?

So you make a statement that is completely false (aka lie) just because
it rhymes and you think it is original?  I notice similarities between
they way you describe Mr Turley and the way you actually are.

YOU don't have any ideas?  Come on, you MUST have something better than
to call names!

Is this the Nathan Mates I've read so much about?  Come back to haunt
CSA2?  It seems that Nathan Mates would include at least SOME relevant
information with facts to back it up.

Have I annoyed the cat by posting a reply?
