now wait just a second, Jim. You mean to suggest here: Message 4208877 “how many of you have products that you downloaded and never even bought? ” …that people download stuff and use it without paying for it? You mean stuff like Netscape Navigator (before it was free) or other such software? Have you been engaged in this? I'm sure you have been if you would suggest such a thing! Well, I tell you—I'm a software developer and this practice is not only illegal, but it is highly unethical and immoral!!BUT JIM!—THERE IS SALVATION AHEAD!! ” Yes, your soul and conscience can be saved because my company has just developed software called “Twelfth Hour” which scans your entire computer for applications that have been used without proper payment. This software has a special database which will provide all the contact details so you can make restituition efforts for these illegal acts! Yes, for the low, low price of $79.95, you can clear your mind and be free of worry that the FTC will be on your back. Buy “Twelfth Hour” now, scan your computer, and get the list of all the software companies you've been ripping off, then send them a check!! Peace of mind for LIFE, for the price of a mere 4 months internet service. Now, all we need is a couple good newsletter touts, an IPO, and some thread shills and we're gonna make MILLIONS!! baby!!! This is a moonshot! Oh yeah, we need a name—how about 'SoftCo Management'. I like that one. What do you think, Jim? Just like BigSure said, the weathermen need to spread around the "fear" a little bit -- then we'll ALL be RICH!! So what do you think, Jim. Know any good newletters we can get to plug this fabulous money-maker?
