    I'm not sure what the point of your reply is, but I will say it only works
    on NT based systems (Windows 2003, XP, 2000, NT 4, or NT 3.51 (SP3)) because
    a very important system call that InstallSpy requires is not supported on
    Windows 95 (Win32) based operating systems. Blame Microsoft for
    incompatibilities between their own operating systems, not me.

    I think his point was that you're a top poster.

    Hi Michael - I would suspect that he was taking ironical note (as I did) of
    the ambiguous name - "InstallSpy"

    I feel like I've come to a party late, where everyone knows everyone else,
    and you're not in on the "in joke" that's going around...

    I thought InstallSpy was a good name, not so many hits on google

    I understand perfectly Michael, but you must admit that promoting something
    that on first glance proposes to install a 'spy' on ones system in a
    newsgroup devoted to dealing with spyware is bound to raise an eyebrow or
    three.
