I don't understand what's your problem, buddy.  What U4ia did was to
release his latest mods as shareware instead of Public Domain software.
First of all, he didn't "advertise" his shareware deal on the network.
Quite Frankly, I was the one who posted it for him.  Why?  because I
believe his shareware deal (and his tragedy) should be realised by the
public.  It was just like someone posting something saying: "hey look,
Edplayer has been announced!!! it's great.  Get it;" or "DICE is
an awesome shareware C compiler, get it!!" and of course "don't forget 
the shareware fee."

If you think making such a joke (like the one above) was funny, well, I can
tell you, I didn't laugh.  I might have laughed... but it wouldn't be
because I was laughing at your joke.  It would be because I was laughing
at you.  You are just about one of the most insensitive people I have
ever met on the net.  Congratulations, buddy.

(I realise this sounds like a flame, and I don't intend to perpentuate this
flame.  If you feel like arguing or defending for yourself, feel free to
e-mail me.)

Yours Sincerely,
Kelvin
