Hi! (Yes, this is going to be a public FLAME!) To give you a quick example of how impertinent crackers can be, here is a message that I found in my mailbox this day. It's from a cracker, a real cracker. He calls himself "fLOw/sPANK!". c00l isN'T iT sOmeHoW? Well, not that he is without shame of using a cracked version (expiry removed) and using a keymaker (key #1 is MINE!) he even gives feedback. Thanks a lot. You all should know why more and more developers turn away from the amiga. If you want to give some friendly hints to this guy, don't hestitate. He even uses his correct EMail address in the keymaker. (That's also why the email is damaged - the keymaker is rubbish) Write to: andreas.ohrfeldt@karlstad.mail.telia.com Following is the original message: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VirII Valley 666 4892 To: flavour@teuto.de Date: 01 Apr 1997 19:11:57 +0100 X-Newsreader: FFNews 1.64 (Amiga;32bit) *** BETA *** #00000001.

Bye! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nice thing, isn't it? Very positive guy. BTW: If you stumble across a posting that has a dot (".") behind the version header, it is a cracked FFNews. -- // Thorsten "Flavour" Stocksmeier \X/ *FFNews* *IconWin* *Argue* Color of the day: 139 126 102 wheat4 ---------- END OF FORWARDED MESSAGE ----------
