I must say that I'm a bit new on CP, but what is this BOB-thing? Does it have anything to do with Church of the Subgenius? :confused: :confused: :confused: /moliate /moliate
Not quite! Although Bob almost hgad a religious folowing for a while (the bob-mania seems to have dies down now). Bob is tyhat little green guy peering out at you from the top of the page: :bob:. He has even stared in a feature film named Bob's Big Night Out. You can find out more about Bob - including a full life history - and view the movie at the Bob Lovers Anonymous website. ________________ David Wulff http://www.davidwulff.co.uk "I loathe people who keep dogs.

If he has used remailers Cheif Inspector Wluff can track him down ! And I'll personally have someone visit him for you ! :-) But seriously the moment you release a program in any from expect abuse. I released an ultra Kewl and useful program on CNET a couple of years ago and the only payment I asked for was a preformatted thankyou letter "if they desired" to be sent and I got more abuse than thankyous :-((( So I haven't released anymore Freeware !

I am suprised that i have not been sent any abusive mail about 404Browser (404Browser's website) And its a freeware browser. All i have recieved is emails that people don't respond back after my reply and one virus i didn't open. -Steven Visit Ltpb.8m.com

Here is the latest comments from a user (?) of one of the freeware programs that I wrote and distributed for a couple of years to several hundred thousand users: "hey you idiot, make a good program for once, that is at least compatible with Windows XP. I would appreciate if idiots like you werent tought to program or helped by other good programmers who wasted their time on a good for nothing moron like you." I guess, this message goes well with the survey about "Programmer's egos"... :) I am not sure how I feel about it. Sad, I guess... I am not sure how to deal with someone like this ether... Do I ignore him, do I post a polite response or do I go off on the person? What do you think? Thanks.
I'd be tempted to go 'Outlaw Programmer' on him, but I'd probably end up just politely offering him a refund (yes, I mean that in irony, I know it was free), and accept full blame for failing to test your program on OS's that had not been released at the time. Then I'd sign him up to a ton of mailing lists, post with his name to some pr0n newsgroups so that he got onto some serious spam lists, and make every future free program I wrote require users to enter their name locally, so that if he ever downloaded anything from me again, a message came up to say how much you hate him and how the contents of his hard drive are now vapour.
