Last time I posted a warning of dubious software to this list (ie Windows
'95) I received offensive flames (by e-mail), all from the same person, saying
that he knew it was "BULLSHIT!!!" and that I shouldn't post things I don't
*know* to be fact to the list.
I still choose to disagree (and I note that he still hasn't posted his "facts"
to the list).
I don't know the following to be fact but I'm sure people would rather see a
warning about something that turned out to be safe, than not see a warning
about something that had such "undesireable features".
All the other usual disclaimers apply. It's not my company's opinion - hell,
it's not even my own opinion. ;-)
