Or, could it be that you feel someone should work for an indeterminate amount of time, invest his/her monies and take the risks of developing a new product and then be deprived of the right to make a return on their investment just so you can use the article for free? I think I know the answer to that one. -- Jerry ✌ jerry+ports@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
