Before someone starts yelling at me for posting a binary on comp.sys.mac, I must point out that I DID NOT POST THIS!

Seems like pretty poor repayment for the favor of having sent it out by E-mail to Chris in the first place.

You may have e-mailed it to me, but I didn't ever receive it. The first I saw
of it was when it appeared on comp.sys.mac. If you're using rn, perhaps you
used the followup command rather than reply.
I think you should have checked with me before making accusations about the
source of the posting.
Nevertheless, thank you for taking the time to send Cheapbeep.

My 1st msg to the net, although i've been reading it for quite some time. In addition, I've just been cautioned about the cost via the 1st-timers' help msg. The net could save even more $ by its members not being so quick to take offense. Agreed, the forging poster SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE SO, and the author has every right to proclaim his own innocence, but why not at least presume the best rather than the worst of the forger? IE: instead of merely trying to avoid flames, perhaps he really was impressed by the software, wanted to share it, and wanted credit to go where it was due.
