A.A. Fussy and Babya software.

If you're tired of this crap happening here, please file a complaint
with WinSite's archiver here:

"I'm unable download the Babya Photo Workshop Professional. And this
guy is a real problem in the alt.comp.freeware newsgroup. (S)he(it)
spams us to death about "Babya" programs, yet when one attempts to
download them they are not available even though their program
description is. If somebody complains enough about the unavailability,
then suddenly a link to the program (which invariably gets a HORRIBLE
review) temporarily appears. Winsite would do everybody a real favor
if they would get rid of all references to Babya programs (of which
there are now currently 52.) Because the reviews ON YOUR SITE are so
negative about the Babya programs, they're probably being continually
removed and then re-submitted in order to clear out the reviews. I
don't know what's wrong with this Babya guy or gal, but they have a
real mental problem and are a serious pest in our group. (S)he(it)
posts using the name "A.A. Fussy" in the alt.comp.freeware newsgroup.
If you want to get an idea of how badly (s)he(it) is spamming our
group and how much (s)he(it) is upsetting everybody, please go to this
link (it's a shortened link to a Google search I did):

Thanks and regards,

And this brings up a point. I now know why Fussy's programs are only
available temporarily. As I said in my message, because the reviews at
WinSite are so negative about the Babya programs, they're probably
being continually removed and then re-submitted in order to clear out
the reviews. I noticed this morning that I was unable to find a single
review for any "Babya" program. Not only that, but not a single one of
them was available as a download. Just the program description exists.

Go to Babya Systems' Web site. The "reviews" are written by Fussy. Once
upon a time there were user reviews,
but they seem to have vanished.

Actually, that should read "may now know".

I was going to the wrong place all right. Here is the right place:

Unfortunately, only 19 of the 52 "Babya" programs are listed there. To
be fair, I haven't installed or used any of Fussy's programs, so I
can't comment. However, judging by the reviews at this site, I don't
want to.

Those reviews are so awful I almost feel sorry for Fussy.
