I don't speak brazilian (or portuguese or whatever it is) but is it not just a brazillian mirror?

Oops looked at the thread and the guy has even renamed the exe to gennerally.exe What a poopoohead!

I don't get it either, unless he's got some kind of personal grudge or unless he's just a complete and utter prat.

Could this just be a different language version of GEnerally? Like legitmately?? Am I the only one that thinks this? You know how the name "GeneRALLY" is a play on the word "generally"? Maybe the word "generally" in whatever language that is, is actually spelled "gennerally". So, to make it still a play on words in the other language, the name of the game is changed. The email addresses are different, but maybe the maker of Generally has appointed the second language version to someone else that can speak the language. So they can respond to the emails and such.. No? Mike http://mikebeauchamp.com "David Buttery" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

That's not a regular domain. It's a link to another site. (i.e. if you put "http://generally.cjb.net" in your browser, you are sent to "http://koti.mbnet.fi/grally/") Let it be known that on Fri, 20 Sep 2002 04:13:26 GMT, "Philip D'Amato" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Lots of people like that about, they rip off free stuff and repost it as their own for their 15 mins of fame that Warhol promised them, they're most likely not talented enough to come up with anything of their own, I blame MS of course, it's becaome too easy to get on the net, and with Frontpage any dummy can make a website where they can offer rip off's as their own stuff Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ "A man is only as old as the woman he feels" --Groucho Marx--

The brazilian site seems to just be a trap to get half dozen cookies and gator installed on your PC. Probably some other dodgy stuff which I blocked from running too... cheers John

Hell, I don't know, but I like the sound of 'You are the two' in Heff's playground much better. :)
