I think you should post a list of pirates, but then again, I can say that
because I know I'm not on it. If you want to be incredibly, extra nice you
could allow a week or two for those people who know they illegally downloaded
LemminGS and/or Convert3200 source to mail you a check for $25 before you
post a list of thieving scum.

I hesitated to comment on this situation after your first post, but now I
feel like I have to say it: Perhaps this situation will be a wakeup call
for all the people who have been defending Charles Turley. After all he
has admitted pirating in the past, but has claimed that he doesn't do that
kind of thing now. Guess what, he's a liar. No big surprise to many c.s.a2
readers, but hopefully everyone will now realize that he is trouble.

There are people here that I think are knowledgeable and valuable contributors
to c.s.a2 who have defended Charles Turley in the past. Hopefully, they will
not be so friendly to him when he returns (and you know he will return.)
