That's true. But it's best not to be offensive when execising that right.
You both have nicknames for each other, but you both have real names.
Keep the nicknames to youselves, especially where legal documentation
is concerned. It makes a joke out of the whole thing...

Well, I guess some people don't like personal comments. If anyone cares 
to make a personal comment about me - then you'll see my temper. But
you'll also be made to look a little stupid (this isn't aimed at you,
Nathan, just anyone who reads the above paragraph) because none of you
_know_ me...

Erm, I think it does. How else are Apple ][ users to find out where to 
get the latest Shareware/Freeware and even commercial software.

Distribution has _everything_ to do with CSA2. Or would you rather people
didn't know where to get your freeware packages?
