And you expect to be taken seriously?

If you take the time to provide a service, and expect to be taken seriously,
and not as a low life scum pirate, then do the work involved in researching
your claims. Research and support cost time, time costs money, and THAT's
why piracy hurts honest developers.

If you buy a product from a legal distributor, whether it be Seven Hills,
Shareware Solutions II or even Quality, you are getting support, you are
getting someone's time. And how do they pay for the time they give you? By
you purchasing the product. It's a very mutual arrangement.

Illegality by ignorance is not a valid excuse you stupid thug.

I have a saying which never fails to ring true: 

   REMEMBER, WE'RE DEALING WITH MORONS.

You're a pirate, and hurting people who are doing good work for the Apple
II. Get out of our faces.
