About software licensing which I don't think has anything to do with HA, do
you?

Agreed, and the very reason that Keith asked it to stop.

Yes my post was for information purposes and part of that information was
the fact that Chris was out on his own, but yes, I did have an opinion on
based on the information I had to hand which I shared. As I already pointed
out I only asked that the thread wasn't posted to in order to save a slew
of
totally OT replies while giving what info I could.

The intent was not to re-open it merely to give as much information as I
could, I see no that I need not have bothered!

IMHO it is! Since when was a topic or thread banned? When was a member
banned? When was the last time anyone was moderated?

If you want to have a huge debate about this or anything else, feel free
IMO, but just bear in mind the complaints that *WILL* come due to the OT
traffic.
