   Hmm... Could be because I've been an on-and-off reg here for a few   
   years. Or I might just want to waste your time and bandwidth. Who   
   knows...

   That's just the only comments I've made since returning to this group   
   a few months ago. Search for "author:auric__" in Google Groups. (The   
   group's unfortunately quite dead nowadays. Used to be pretty busy.)   
      
   My feelings about not paying for software can be summed up in two   
   words: "cheap bastards". If something is worth *using*, then it's   
   worth *paying for*. I'm a paying customer of several large and well-   
   known companies -- not because I can't get their software illegally   
   (I can, quite easily), but because their stuff is *worth using*.   
   (I've also donated to the FSF and a few other open-source projects   
   for the same reason.)   
      
   As for recommending against doing something, you need to remember   
   that a lot of things that fall under the heading "hacking" are   
   *illegal* in many places. Email bombing can break a number of laws,   
   depending on where the sender, the receiver, and the email server are   
   located. (You're not private; if a law enforcement agency wanted to   
   know who you are, Supernews would fall over themselves handing out   
   your info. Ditto with your ISP.)

   I do. I write programs. (Don't bother looking; they're published   
   under my real name, which is nothing resembling "Auric".)

   Do you even know what a "hacker" is? Or "hacking"? I'll give you a   
   hint: it's not a person who circumvents authors' mechanisms for   
   ensuring payment, nor is it a person who harasses others, via email   
   or otherwise. I recommend you read this page:   
   http://catb.org/jargon/html/H/hacker.html   
      
   By the way... Don't top-post.
