Fine, except I do not recall encountering any pirated software on any
1WSW site. (Specifically, which wares have now been spared the Floppy
Bandit's foul deprecations?)  Though the possibility seems remote, it may be that II users have just lost an access point for some u=
seful shareware and freeware.

(I - Dr. Tom reply:)
NEVER! Nobody is going to shut down GS WorldView - NEVER! And nobody will ever find anything on that site that is in any remote mann=
er illegal any in manner what so ever - end of discussion!

(Rubywand replies, with a multitude of smilee's :):):):):):):):):)
     Yes; we ethical Apple II users must stick together. Unlike _some_
here, we have no wicked memories of lugging Apples, shoe boxes of
diskettes, and those bulky Amdek Color-1 monitors to Apple User Group
"basement meetings".

(Rubywand comments:)

     Let us declare "Ethicalness Day"! On 30 April all csa2 members will
pour through their diskette collections and expunge any which are not
originals or backups of owned originals. Goodness only knows how many hard disks are similarly besmirched by non-share, non-free, no=
n-Bought wares.
And, what about Xeroxed copies of docs?

     INIT, DELETE, Shread!!!

     Csa2 will be so much better once everyone is as ethical as _we_ are.

(I - Dr. Tom reply:)

Yes, it's absolutely essential that we do this today!  It will be such a beautiful event.  I'm inviting all the News Media to this c=
leansing of evil, so that the purification of A2 community - world-wide can be recorded in posterity forever!

(I - Dr. Tom reply, as I beg for yourmercy and forgivness:)

Yes, oh YES, Lord Mark, pure one of the entire A2 community most high, I ask for your forgivness for all of my foul and evil past de=
eds.  Have mercy on my wicked, selfish, demented soul and vile actions in total! 

Rubywand replies:)
     Dead on the mark! It's high time we loyal burdened users condemn
hedonistic Easter Egg Hunts and wanton prize-giving. As for Ware Raper
Tom's "GS World View" on-line magazine
(http://www.wco.com/~3d5d1wsw/gsezine), who, one wonders, authorized _him_
to hand out free Apple II news, reviews, ROM 4 machine pictures,
maintenance tips, and freeware?

     Enough! Let the Emu of Ethicalness rise upon Loyal limbs. Unburden
the Egg of Retribution upon the festering Fruits of unwarranted
Contributionhood!

(I - Dr. Tom reply with one great final gasp:)

Amen Brothers and Sisters, Amen! Let all evil be gone from this A2
Community forever and EVER!  This will be a DAY none shall ever forget.

We are all healed and pure now!  Let us march in unison - to rid the rest of all the curses and impure actions that stagnate our eff=
orts toward pure thoughts and deeds for the glory of 'All Apple Users - World-Wide - FOREVER!
