And Nothin is here to see that no one copies anything that has ever had a
copyright notice. The author may not care any longer, but Nothin does & will
call your ISP if he finds you have any software on your site that he feels is
not kosher. I sleep better at nights knowing that Nothin is out there
protecting me and my software.

You know, it was kind of quiet around here for a couple of weeks. But if
Nothin's back, then so am I. As I've read somewhere else...Live with it!
