Really.

Because those "others"-you mainly-recommend things with no idea if they
contain a drive-by or trojan that comes with the download. You jst pump
them out there. At least you could Google for forum remarks and reviews
before you copy and paste the authors remarks.

May be that that there are folk like that. But before you pass the
kool-aid, shouldn't you find out if it is
trial-ware-shareware-nagware-trojanized-and fly-by-nightish first? O, I

not one of those pissed off people. I just think you are a derelict.
