I dont think I am a parasite, I run AmiBench, along with Tom Hurst, and Bart
King. How do you think we would react to you when you reported us to trading
standards?
if you were trying to make friends then reporting us a government agency is
hardly a wise move.
I worked long and hard to make AmiBench a sucess that it is today, and the
prospect of it being taken away from me really really upset me alot.
As many people who know me actually can testify AmiBench means alot to me,
I have said on many occasions "AmiBench is my way of saying thanks to the
Amiga community".
How do you think I would *feel* at the prospect of being reported to Trading
standards because you thought I may of broke some Anti-Competitive Laws by
having banners on our site?

Er, Look I hardly think I have ever insulted you, I have not yet had an
apology from you for reporting me to trading standards because I complained to
you about spam mails that you were sending me.
if I have insulted you in private, please feel very very free to post the
emails here.
