[comp.sys.mac.games] Apology wanted

   So far I've received one letter from a kindly sole who told me where I could
find Solarian II 1.04.  I've also gotten two letters either stating or implying
that I had the game and was using it illegally (unregistered).  I'd like to get
up on my soap box and preach a bit.

   Who do you common peons think you are?  I've seen Solarian, and played it,
on some of the servers at school.  I've brought it home every time I've seen
a higher version number (1 & 1.03) and tried it on my machine.  Both times it
was buggy.  The latest version skips and jumps and, without fluidity of motion,
the game is both hard and uninteresting.  When I find a copy I can use at
home, I'll buy it.
   Now, if anybody else out there feels like playing judge, (or is just as
self-righteous as the people from whom I've received letters) don't.  I would
not have minded somebody telling me where I could have found the game and
reminding me it was shareware.  So, in the future, why don't you insensitive
swine think before you write.

P.S. - I still haven't found a copy.  Anybody know of an ftp site?
