There are only
"Da rules"
Reality check. You're talking about somebody's theory, not facts. I'm
amazed you claim "Nagware has ALWAYS been off topic here" when you know
that there were Nagware programs on the Pricelessware List for years and
years and you know that those same Nagware programs were recommended
over and over again in ACF posts.
I know nothing of the sort. Nagware has ALWAYS BEEN OFF TOPIC.
I didn't "take a stance" in my previous post but I'll take one now. I'm
in favor of *accurate* ware descriptions. Nagware programs are NOT
magically transformed into Freeware by omitting the Nagware label.
IMO *accurate* ware descriptions are of prime importance => IMO the only
ware types that are *always* off-topic for recommendation in ACF are
wares that are not free and/or not legal.
Nagware is not free because the price you pay for using the software is
having to put up with the nag screen.
IMO "free enough for me" is a pretty good "guideline" for posting.
Good God, Susan! Do you have any idea what you're doing right now by
taking stance? You're opening the door to adware, shareware, etc. etc.
etc. Get a freaking GRIP!
IMO
posting additional information is often helpful, second guessing other
peoples decisions/recommendations is usually counterproductive.
YMMV
Am I really talking to Susan Bugher?
Once again, this group is named ALT.COMP.FREEWARE and Nagware isn't
freeware! In fact, there's even a website named NONAGS.COM, one of the
very earliest true freeware websites. They named it that because they
felt and still feel so strongly that nagware SUCKS.
I am going to start a vote.

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.
