I don't reply to trolls like Andy Mabbett or Doc (who uses sock puppets)
for instance. No adware, cdware, commercial software, crippleware,
demoware, nagware, PROmotionware, shareware, spyware, time-limited
software, trialware, viruses or warez for me, please.

That's not voting, it's a straw poll, with no validity whatsoever
(unless you can explain who is entitled to vote, and how you plan to
stop people voting more than once).

No as a general rule, but yes on seldom, justified occasions.
This newsgroup is about freeware not nagware, however you cannot forbid
someone from talking!


On some exceptional occasions one might want to

give information to a nagware that is not abusive or irritating,

as the last alternative other than spending money or cracking a program.



John Corlis is mad because I told someone about www.995pdf.com

that is not exactly freeware. It opens a browser after you use it with a
sponsor.

I personally have used the pdf printer and I find it a fantastic product,

NOT some stupid nagware, and I dont mind pressing the close button on the
browser.

I mentioned this software because there is no other freeware in this
category for windows.
If it wasnt so good, I wouldnt have said anything.. I have no gain
whatsoever in talking about a program, nor do I have any wish to post in
this group irrelevant content all the time.



So what does he do? He starts a vote now, so he can then say to me, get lost

no one wants your contribution, you are off topic, bla bla bla....



I find this type of childlike action very disturbing... of troll and NetCop
calibre....
trying to create a climate of hate...



I do not regularly post anything else than freeware. On the rare occasion
that

I think I should mention something else, I do, and I do this to help,
without having any personal gain.



I suspect that he is a nice guy, but everyone can get overly enthusiastic
sometimes.





Peace
