I wasn't 'so very angry' not even when he called me a cad. I dunno about
cad. I quite like it. Shame it wasn't a cad and a bounder. That for
definite would make my sig.

I apologize that the cad was a typo. It really was. It was supposed to be a
cat.

You guys are angry but I've been in freeware for as long as you have (hint,
I was born in the early fifties) but we all have our ways.

For me, freeware has to be fast first time.
Any errors in a first-time install are indications of issues later.

If there was NO OTHER OPTION then I would spend hours, days, weeks, months,
etc., as I did when I built my custom newsreader which basically just puts
vi on front of telnet with a dictionary lookup for the random headers.

But if there's another option, and with freeware, that other option is
almost always the *next* freeware in the lineup, then I throw them out like
I threw out resumes when I was going through a stack of them.

How do you go through resumes?
Same way you go through freeware.

You don't have time to interview every one so you throw out any that have
warning signs.

Then you test the few that had no warning signs, and that's when you find
more.

In the end, you only one to hire one person where you then spend your
energy training them to do what you want them to do.

Same with freeware.
