Notice how it doesn't contain the premise you tried to say was mine? Notice how it doesn't contain the conclusion you tried to assign to me?

You seem to be reading some thread other than the one you're replying in -- I was talking apps whose licenses are sold to end users, not freeware, and I wasn't saying anything about the newsgroup. > You are trying to merge two different things into one.

You're awfully interested in it; you've posted many, many times about it. I can't seem to make any post about it at all without you taking a keen interest.

No, and you're pretty far lost. > You say "alleged freeware" as if it isn't freeware. It most certainly > is freeware. If you can't use an app without buying a license for the app, I don't consider that app freeware. It's because you have to pay for it, Bottoms. Read that slowly several times. I'm not forcing you to agree with me that software you have to buy is commercial software, but neither am I going to agree with you that "it most certainly is freeware". > Answer this question, are you saying Microsoft freeware is off-topic > for this newsgroup? Are you saying we can't disagree about what is and isn't freeware without a flare-up of your paranoia about an imaginary cult trying to control the group?

Who said anything about a cult? You asked me a question about stuff I hadn't said, so I asked you a question about stuff you hadn't said (in this thread, though you've said a lot about the imaginary cult in other threads). > I asked YOU. You've managed to follow the thread for three posts now, going back to when you asked me -- congrats. > Guilty concience. Maybe that is why you asked the question, but I think it's more likely because you don't have anything more convincing than saying "hogwash" to support your idea that once you've bought a license for an app that app is freeware.
