The problem is, you can search google or what ever, and find archives of 
this list so if I was going to offer software like that, an email list is 
*not* the place I'd go advertising it because you never know who might 
stumble in to the info. I can tell you now, if I was one that sold software 
or made money off it, I'd have people out looking for people putting that 
stuff out there on email lists and what not so I could go after them so if 
you're going to do that, best to keep it off list.
