    Just ignore the nattering nabobs of negativism. Also, remember that
    famous

    Latin phrase: "nullus illegitimi carborundum" (don't let the b*stards grind

    you down).

    Add me to the list of folks who has seriously benefited from your site and who
    place no expectations or assumptions on you - just an extension of gratitude!

    Yes, that's a good one; thanks for the reminder. I just stopped a guy who had been running a scraper continuously against the site for the past several days. Almost a million HTTP requests, and I was wondering why CPU load and bandwidth was way up.

    :-/

    Some people had asked for the Vault DVD set, and I'll be mailing those out ASAP. I ran out of DVD-Rs and I have to buy more.

    Is it now closed for good? The Mac GUI Downloads search function has allowed me to discover so many amazing things. It would be a big loss if it is gone.
    I really hope you reconsider it or find a way to avoid the scrapers.
