Whether this guy is stupid, malicious, hateful or just plain criminal, I 
don't know that I've ever been more upset or as angry as I was when I 
accessed his site and saw pirated software that I currently publish.

It is/was, IMHO, a slap in the face to both me and Brutal Deluxe that
Convert 3200 would be available from Steve Mentzer. Especially, considering
the fact that he never even purchased the program to begin with.

Yeah, I'm angry, upset, and incredibly disgusted. I feel depressed and
violated over this incident.

Thanks a lot, Mentzer, for ruining my week. And, thanks to whomever 
pirated their copy of Convert 3200 and gave it to him. <sarcasm intended>
