Careful: Stay away from that site. He's pushing untested software and
some I heard recently is even renamed apps from other authors. Has
several different nicks, & is totally untrustworthy IMO.

Perhaps you should set your newsreader to display posts so you can see
who said what to whom.

Something tells me that as*holes like you don't know what you are talking
about, you think you do but you don't. Please visit
http://pcbutts1.com/downloads/fu.htm you might learn more about yourself.
