I agree that the flame wars are a shame.  It is interesting how you,
as a developer of A2 software, hold up Charles Turley and Rubywand
as examples of what polite, helpful csa2 users should be like.
Maybe now Nathan and friends will realize that to make your point
heard to developers, let alone your typical user, you have to first
stop acting like a child.  ;-)

My views, and probably the views of many other users, is that
piracy is wrong.  But if you want others on your side, you must
first act civilized.  You reading this, Nathan?
