Duh, Rosy.. You win no prizes with THAT assertion.  ;)

Openly?  As a general rule, only vermin seeking warez venture into asimov or 
other whorehouses to "get some".  It's not until the Dorktor goes pimping and 
reminds folks of the naughty stuff going on there, drawing the curious or the 
legitimate owners who attempt to clean house.

And as one of the chief Turlettes out there, you bear responsibility for this 
theft.

Uhh... Asshole.  You're blaming the victim here.

In YOUR topsy-turvy world, folks would have to go around saying "Don't steal my 
stuff" to everyone they meet.  Simply because RosyWanker's Law states that it's 
OK to steal stuff if they DON'T say it.

I don't expect you to see the stupidity of your position though, Rosy.  I've come 
to develop a low opinion of your intelligence.  ;)

Reasonable? Heh heh heh....

How do you get from "RosyWanker's Law" to Tom uttering the lie "I talked to Ross 
two years ago and he released it to freeware"?

Reason and you don't even have a nodding acquaintance.

 *>In fact, there was no problem until just recently.

Oh?  The problem was that there were stolen goods on asimov.  There still are.  
That's the fact.  That's the problem.

Your assertion is just another "Head up the ass" Turlette rationalization.

 *>     It was always understood that Ross owned the rights to the software and

I'll write slow so you can understand it, Rosy.  It's always been understood by 
law abiding folks that placing copyright material on free public archives is 
illegal.  But you and the rest of the Turlettes are just too stupid to understand 
even THAT simple fact.  ;)

 *>He has now requested it and, as far as I know, the software has been removed
 *>from access via the major public archives.

And no doubt, the minor public archives continue to have it and you Turlettes 
continue to pass it around like the low-life scum that you are.

 *>     Well, so far, all that has happened is that some software and Text
 *>copies of issues are no longer easily and freely available.

Sure it's easy. You just write a check.  And if having stuff freely available is 
so important to you, why haven't you made all YOUR property free?  Hmmmm?  
Hypocrite.

How so?  Syndicomm has a price list at:

Could it be that you lie?  But of course.  You're just another stinking Turlette.

 *>Why not try creating and selling something _new_?

It would happen faster if developers knew that they wouldn't get ripped off 
whenever their backs were turned.  

Why should they have to continue to sort through the thousands of copies of 
stolen goods on asimov and mirrors to protect their stuff?  Time better spent on 
programming.

A solution exists.  Sure, it might cost a pittance, but until you actually con 
some dope into programming a freeware version, if the problem is so tough for 
these Mac users, they shouldn't whine.  Right?

You wouldn't know truth if it clawed it's way out of your chest and clamped it's 
claws on your microscopic privates.  ;)
