   You're not trying very hard. This took only a few seconds to find:

   You're also managing to conveniently ignore all of Rubywanker's
messages trying to claim that asimov is in any way legal when even
other pirates have the balls to admit it's illegal. Rubywanker refuses
to let the truth about what he's recommending influence his "faqs"
[more sector edits of other's words withOUT permission] where he
continually recommends asimov as a "legitimate" software source along
with all others.

   Lose the blinders-- Rubywanker is truly a pirate, and your refusal
to see that is severely hampering your ability to say anything that'll
be taken seriously by people.
