In this group, alt.comp.freeware, there is *never* an instance where
recommending payware is called for. The most fundamental guideline for

freeware, not commercial software. Recommending payware here is as off
topic as it gets.

I don't reply to trolls like Andy Mabbett, Doc (who uses sock puppets)
or Roger Johansson, for instance. No adware, cdware, commercial
software, crippleware, demoware, nagware, PROmotionware, shareware,
spyware, time-limited software, trialware, viruses or warez for me, please.
