Hi Dark,
Yeah, I know. Being a moderator myself I couldn't do anything like
that myself, nor allow anyone to do it here on Audyssey either. I was
just thinking it would be funny if someone did actually give them an
ultimatom of get with the program or just abandon the games
altogether. None of this we are working on something, but won't tell
you what it is, or we don't read or e-mail because of spam crap. There
comes a time when a company like that is just asking for someone to
pirate them out of existance or something. HOwever, straight people
like you and I will try to honor them even if they don't really
deserve it just on principle.
Smile.
