Looks like I was wrong. I'm glad someone's getting a response from him
(although I still haven't).

I have two problems with that. First of all, the costs of production
and distribution don't have to come out of his pocket. They can (and

Second, I notice that he plans to *pay* his software contributors, but
claims that he can't even afford to give FAQ contributors a copy of the
CD. I believe the term for this is "double standard."
