Not really "a payment system", Kagi is an e-commerce site for software authors. It's reputable and has been around a long time.

By `spyware features', he means that MacSoup makes posts like this one, which according to Jan provide spying-type personal information about the poster. I know what he's on about - can you see it? Rowland. P.S. If you've not worked it out yet, look at the headers. See the one that provides OS and application information? That's the spyware feature, at least according to Jan who's obviously even more barking mad than I am. -- Remove the animal for email address: rowland.mcdonnell(a)dog.physics.org Sorry - the spam got to me http://www.mag-uk.org http://www.bmf.co.uk UK biker?
