   Help is not help when it's wrong. GUPP _only_ patches some bugs
in System 6.0.1. Nothing in 6.0, and very unlikely to work with any
6.0.2 or 6.1 should that ever come out.

   This wouldn't have happened if you'd read the GUPP dox with one
tenth the attention you gave to vfyicon. GUPP is by far the more
important of the two, but all you could do was publicize the choice
I made in distribution methods. If you're going to publicize that so
much, I think GUPP 1.02 and all future versions will be the same.

   And as to the crack about "I gave him money, but wouldn't touch his
programs disk, and I can't figure out why he isn't nice to me," maybe
you need to go think about it some more. It's not just that, though.
Even if everyone had forgiven you when you left "for good" a second
time, you've came back and been your old flaming self again. You've
messed up again, thus you need to repent again.
