Further Clarifications - walt7

You also have to wonder about an author who feels the need to keep giving his own application 5 stars to help bring the rating up due to the ever increasing poor ratings users are giving. Justifying the bloated price by offering "free" registration of software I don't want. Big deal. If I wanted them I'd buy them. Don't inflate your price to "give away" other software as well. I've spent way more on better software. I'm thinking Dreamweaver, Office (for two platforms), InDesign, Frontpage '03. I pay a lot for my software, so if I think software is worth a big sum of money, I'm not afraid to spend.

On a side note, I always find it interesting when shareware developers always refer to themselves in the plural form. We say this, and we do that. There's no we. "They" do this to make it seem like "their" "company" is so big and important. It also lets blame be separated over more people, and not just the one person trying to defend the shareware. I've known 2 people personally who did this. I always laughed. I'm assuming this is the case here. A big company wouldn't misprice shareware like this, nor would feel the need to justify their shareware on these forums. But that's just my 2 cents.
