A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely
foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

Is that supposed to be a joke? Your SOH is obviously different to mine. It
was a serious question.

It appears the P2P is useless for now.

Hello village idiot!

How is the Linux on your home computer?
You have nothing else on it, ars*wipe!

I had no doubt your question was serious but so was the answer.

I am not in contemporary music and therefore could not and did not catch all
the details. What I noticed was that you downloaded something advertised to
be free and got disappointed. I never heard of this event before and wish I
never did.

My response came from a different prospective. I hate when people are being
taken advantage of. It is one thing to joke, another to mislead. After I
read all the links it became clear that my initial suspicion was correct. I
want to stress 100% correct. There was no need to investigate it further
yesterday. It just smelled bad.

My long-term experience is that there is no free lunch and anything
announced free must be viewed with suspicion. When you go to websites you
see all those "free downloads." Sure you download junk for free but it won't
work until you gave them a credit card or paid by PayPal. Why don't say so
in advance? And even you paid them more often than not this piece of junk
won't work at all!

On the other hand I have noticed while trolling in this NG that there are
many characters around here who have their own unscrupulous agendas and they
have no scruples when it comes to cheating their fellow man.

This is why I said that half of the trolls around here make such things a
reality. If you want me to repeat it I WILL.

I am here to learn. I do not sell anything (except for securities at a stock
exchange). But if I ever try to sell anything of more tangibles nature, like
a software product, which I doubt I ever will, I will do it in a way that
every my step will be completely transparent. I just hate insincerity.

Mick Murphy, you have a very impressionable mind. Frank has a tremendous
influence on you.. What you, idiot, posted while attaching it to a wrong
poster is almost verbatim steal from some of the nobles Frank's aphorisms.
Isn't it pitiful? Your mind is withering on the vine while you are drinking
too much wine. Or perhaps not even wine, with your foul language you can be
easily identified as Jack Daniels devoted customer.

Aside, you stole my "village idiot" duo. Nobody in this forum ever used this
patented expression before I came along. Now it is on every troll's mind and
tongue. They feel that if they repeat it endlessly they will be "like them."

Have you studied your genealogy? Are you related to Murphy Law's founder?
