Aw don't be so hard on him ;) He just tried to help... I think, at least _now_ he tells. And then again, where's the spyware in that package??? Oh wait, you meant the e-mailing stuff, so that'd make the package spyware. Which is not, because Sun Cobalt actually tells developers how they can make use of the register_me functionality. So you should trash your RaQ because then Cobalt places `spyware' in their own products, oh and wait, they advertise it as well, they encourage programmers, omg! conspiracy :) Here's a good tip, next time when you download a package first untargz it and look for nifty register_me scripts or something. Sorry that that sounded a bit harsh, no flame intended, I guess I've just seen enough of everyone saying `hey pal, get lost with your spyware'. We know now, so let's all (including me!) get back on topic.
