He thought by starting a vote he could then come back to me and say
no one wants your information, so scram
Susan, there is no need to be bitter like that....not to me...
John said:Your assumptions are wrong.
I am NOT new to this group.. I have been here for years and years and
years..probably longer than you!

another? Your name says you have been posting since the beginning of the
year. In this vote there is no right and wrong. This group only works if
everyone shows some moderation.

Approximately 70 people responded to the ridiculous question asked byJohn said:Nagware is NOT offtopic in this newsgroup!
This newsgroup is called alt.comp.freeware
Please read the meaning of the term freeware in wikipedia a free online
encyclopedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeware
I quote wikipedia: "The only criterion for being classified as "freeware" is
that the software must be made available at no cost"
and even in that case the newsgroup has an ALT before its name...
this means ALTernative giving the meaning of freedom not some
netcop dominated group as Corliss envisions it.
However I dont personally post nagware unless it is the last resort, and no
other
freeware exists, and I notify the poster WARNING him of the nature of the
application.
Just like the FIRST POST that started this whole corliss vote thing!
John said:No to posting any imaginable unreleated thing or flamewars or trolling.
Yes to posting helpful information when needed and in context with the
subject in this newsgroup.
No to people who want to stop other people giving advice that is intended to
help the poster that is searching for some solution.
Yes to other forms of freeware, ONLY when needed, and given warning
of their nature.
This is the correct meaning of freedom I give.. not something wild and out
of control as susan said, although those too cannot be enforced.... since
this is the usenet after all.

Lucille, perhaps?
"Lucille is a mostly hidden application that pops up questions to help
you doing reality tests." http://mythwell.com/lucille/index.html
I don't think that it's quite what you had in mind, though.
I somehow also doubt that our hero can be helped that easily.

whiping.
