ICR2N2 - Quit Whining !

by Chasma » Thu, 22 May 1997 04:00:00

Hi All,

So I come back to RAS after not visiting for a couple of days and I see
like 600 messages and half of them have to do with Dave Noonan's
converter.  What the heck.  So someone is marketing a product and making
a little extra cash on it.  Quit your whining already.  

Just because you have been given everything for free up to this point
doesn't mean that somewhere along the line someone doesn't have the
right to make a little money on his hard work.  Or do we suddenly live
in a society where money means nothing at all?  Now that would be a
novel thought.

Truth is as hard as it is for me to face it everyday, money is a
necessary evil.  I will not lambaste someone who has done us all a favor
and is asking a little bit in return.  Maybe many of us ought to grow up
a little bit and rid ourselves of this maniacal fantasy that everything
in life is free.  People, everything in life costs money.  That's the
hard truth.

Chas

If this is the case, should we not regard Dave Noonan's post to this NG
as spam. Personally, I do  not see anything wrong with what Dave has
done. As a programmer, I can respect the amount of time and effort Dave
has put into his converter and his desire to reap the rewards due him.
