True enough that this person might be a pirate, but what if he is just some guy from the UK who has no money?

We should not assume the worst until more info is known. Then again this could be just a prank to see what we will do. I for one think it best to let the subject die.

I will not give out the name of the P2P program I used to find SE4G and Starfury and DO and SE3. That would just be asking for trouble. I think the subject should be allowed to die down as well.

No good comes of these discussions.

I wonder why it is that Cats have to be in the same room as you are in? My two cats have full access to one entire room, that has their food, water, and way in and out of the house. Why is it then that they paw at the door and mewo until I let them into the rest of the house. From their they camp our in my bed room and or in the spare room? I mean I am not that nice to them, I simply feed them and occationaly pet them. I would prefer to harras them and chase them with the vaccum cleaner for ****s and giggles.

Regardless of my treatment, they both desire to be near me. Most odd.

My previous cats did that as well. Just jump up on you and demand attention then onto the keyboard, the monitor... wherever else they could get on that they were certain you didn't want them to get on...

Actually my sisters Pug(the breed of dog found in the Men in Black movies as Frank) does this as well. However in the case of a dog it is less distracting as the best he can hope for is jumping into my lap and not the keyboard or the monitor. Though I must note that when he falls asleep on me or aroudn me his snoring can be quite distracting. And lets not even mention when he has gas.

cats view you as their tribe. and tribes stick together. plus, it's so funny to see your reaction when you don't want them there.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">His Email is davijan@dawsond4.freeserve.co.uk

any body recognize it? Should I send him an Email with "SE4G" attached *cough http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif virus http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif cough, tell him to **** off, lecture him about the wrongness of piracy or just ignore it? </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I would send him about 40 gigs of odds and ends, perhaps some shipsets and mods, just no game code. Send it as you go to bed so it does not impact your activity. It will piss him off. He will have to DL it, or call his mailserver to get it deleated. Remember to send it as a bunch of smaller files, so it will just leave off some of the attachments when his box overflows. Then send his address to a few known spam lists.

I have an older cat, she is about 11 now. She is one of those cats that hates everyone except me. She hated me at first too, but because of some thing I did, she had grown into a good companion. I brought over my Male from my old house and he is a very amlicable cat, and does try to get along with her with friendly no offense chips and suttle meows, but Momma, or ***** Kitty as she has become known as, want nothing to do with him. She is this way will all cats, and most poeple. She will hiss, spit, and growl pretty much non stop until she finds a nice dark and secluded place to hide. Which ironically often pisses me off because it is a place she should not be. I am patient and seldom loose my cool with her, but at times I have gotten quite peeved and thrown your angry *** out side. But she is old and I often feel bad afteward and go get her. She will hiss at me when the male cat is around, but when he is not, she is friendly once again. I know its a territory thing, she has had free reign here for over a decade now, and this young buck comes into the picture and she wants no part of it. Damn kids.

Well, he did say if there is anything he could offer you in return to name it. Tell him you'd be happy to send him a copy of Se4, for 39.95 + shipping. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">That is fairly naive... it is one of the most common tactics employed by would-be pirates...

I got this e-mail too.
