Yep, but try to find a freeware app that does it... And besides, you
only need to pay the $9 once -- it's not like you're going to change
your handwriting every day. ;)

When you recommend a program here, it is expected to be freeware.

That is the purpose of the newsgroup. It is defined in the very *name*
of the newsgroup! Yet what did you come in and do? Recommended a pay
product.

You furthermore did it in stealth.

Misleading people. Wasting the time of countless readers, who save posts
and follow links from ACF because they are interested in *freeware.*

Someone next, helpfully, in order to reduce the number of people being
misled by your advertisement, provided the information about the nature
of the product which you had tried to slide into the freeware forum.

You post back gleeful and proud, as if you've done nothing wrong. Your
disrespect against the topic of the newsgroup, against those who expect to
find freeware here, it is offensive. I assume that makes you prouder yet.

.. . . .

This newsgroup is getting badly soiled, muddied, making actual freeware hard
to spot out, with the trash being dumped into the waters by the increasing
number of hugely rude posters here, like Jock Strap, who insist on abusing
this freeware forum with their payware promotions.
