Certainly not. But I'm not the one making the claim that he's been
"absolutely ON-topic" all week.

I didn't ignore it at all; in fact, I specifically asked you about
it, since you seemed to contradict yourself in the next sentence.

You've heard from plenty of "us folks" about that -- there are
several people who have pointed out that much of what he posts is
good freeware, and thanked him for it.

Fry? No. It's helpful to point out when something's spyware, and
that usually happens. I'm not sure why you'd want such warnings to
stop.

I doubt it. When honest posters accidentally post non-freeware and
have it pointed out, they usually say they're sorry for the mistake
and continue to hang around as contributors. OTOH, if the ones
intentionally posting it leave, I don't think we'd feel the "loss".

You are not the only one reading the thread. Some, rather than
ironically complaining about complaints, my want to quit reading it.

We don't ignore him. I was just seeing how you'd react to your own
advice being applied to you.
> Leave him/her alone
I don't think Tramp minds when people point out that he posts adware
intentionally; he's pointed it out himself. I'm still not sure why
you feel so strongly that it shouldn't be pointed out or why you
think of it as 'frying'.
