Hi, Gil. OK you have obviously put a lot of time into this post and I
think we can resolve the matter as I feel very uncomfortable about
annoying people, which I obviously have done in your case.
It seems you were under the mis-apprehension that I had complained
about Miami cutting the connection after a pre-set time. I was not
complaining about this but was merely pointing out to B.F. Griffiths
that he would need to use Miami if he wanted to connect to BTInternet
and that he should be aware of this demo restriction.

OK I apologise for calling you rude when I don't know you. I did find
your comment rude but, I can understand this point of view seeing as
you thought I was complaining about demo restrictions.
To set the record straight, I have paid for Voyager (by buying NC3),
I have paid for the right to use A-Web (by buying AmigaOS3.5), and
I have paid for MiamiDX.

You don't need to advise me on matters of moral code and theft, I am a
Police Officer.

So, I hope this settles the matter. Kind regards
