    ML> there's no need for name calling, really...   
      
   I will describe him as a contemptibly foolish person instead (aka JERK).   
       
    MJ> He says so himself in the nagware splash screen:   
      
    ML> there's nothing wrong with that... many programmers did similar and   
    ML> still do, today...    
      
   Which is why a lot of old shareware is useless today.   
      
    MJ> His short-sightedness is confirmed in the documentation:   
      
    ML> what short-sightedness?   
      
   The kind that makes programs useless after 25 years.   
      
    MJ> Newer version of the KITYMAIL key file will be available on the   
    MJ> "Someplace to Start" BBS and will be distributed freely to other   
    MJ> BBS's.   
    MJ> He just wants people to call his BBS to artificially inflate his ego.   
      
    ML> for some reason, you seem to have missed the last part of that   
    ML> sentence... "will be distributed to other BBS's[sic]"...    
      
   What good is that when those BBS's no longer exist.   
      
    ML> in any case, if the software doesn't meet your needs, don't use it...   
    ML> complaining won't change anything...    
      
   Complaining did change something.
