Just for the record, if I were doing something that caused that dialog to display (and frankly, in 10 years of using BBEdit, I have never seen it, even though I do use it on two different machines) I wouldn't hesitate to buy another license. BBEdit is a program that has paid for itself a hundred times over. The value is just phenomenal for the price tag. Even if I felt I were technically within the terms of the license, if it made my life easier, why not spring for another copy? It's not going to break me.
I also have to say, for the record, that BareBones is the most helpful, supportive and responsive company I've ever done business with. I know I've thanked you guys every time you've helped me with a functionality issue, feature request or just plain good advice about leveraging BBEdit's features, but I really can't thank you enough for all the support you've given and the time you've saved me over the years. Maybe Evan doesn't realize it, but it insults the intelligence of most of the users on this list to imply that BBEdit is anything less than an otustanding product or that BareBones is anything less than scrupulous in its treatment of its customers. In my estimation, Evan, you don't deserve a product like BBEdit.
