Thanks Russell. It is the right thing to do. Nance - I've always respected your comments, and I think in this case you (like many) are caught up in the moment, and are taking this personally. I'm trying not to, in spite of the slurs and innuendo in some of the posts - which are clearly intended to be incindiary. I'm not flaming anyone, I'm just sticking up for some basic definitions, that some would rather bend to their own interpretation. It may all appear innocent on the surface, but what about the next guy that comes along and tries to push the definition a bit farther? He will cry "foul" by pointing to this example, if it is allowed. Then there will be another and another, and before you know it, the "Freestuff" area will become a haven for shills, come-ons and maybe even malicious code. Don't think for a moment that it can't happen. And I hardly think that standing up for what is right and fighting to protect something that is good from corruption is "sophmoric". Greybro - here's another word you should look up in a dictionary - "Hipocracy" (sic)- if you don't find it try "hypocrisy"
