Hi Ed,

In that case, I think you are in the wrong NG... this _IS_
alt.privacy.spyware. Furthermore... it is considered bad netiquette to
post HTML on usenet, go over to alt.compfreeware, ask for the program
you are looking for in HTML and you will be flamed to a crisp; this has
nothing to do with playing "god", but everything with the newsreaders
people here use (and a lot of them don't use OE...) and the result they
see because of your HTML posting (go and find your post, look at the
course of it... that junk is what they see... not a readable message!

Ed, the choice of whether people use a nym, or like I do my full real
name, is one you nor I can make for others, MTO is a helpful member of
the community, most of the time one of the first posters to a question,
and that is what counts... I cannot say the same for "Ed Bornstein"
(which could be a nym as well), so don't be F'd up because someone has
the decency to tell you about the netiquette... learn from it and use
the info!

Good luck in finding a program (tip: alt.comp.freeware) AND your family!
Regards
Dick
