Erm what ?, you've registered PB2.12b ?.
Quote: "If I am handed a copy of software, that to my knowlage was suppose to be free I simply assume that it is a download from the site.
As when I checked the site there was an updated version there, that confirms what I believe.

What a surprise, conveniently sidestepping your previous apparently defiant statement of
"Quite frankly tought titties.
I've been messing around with PlayBasic since 1.4-something, currently I believe I have the 2.0x build... i can't remember what one exactly"
your clearing claiming to have knowingly accessed versions of PB that were NOT available to the public.
Which is/was obviously a lie. see bellow..
Quote: "
The only time I checked your site on the matter of the language was when you first started the idea.
Now if someone handed this to me when they weren't suppose to then I'd suggest you stricen either your ftp security measures or think more carefully before accepting people into your beta program.

It's quiet simple, theft is illegal, as is being on the receiving end of theft. Pleading ignorance isn't a very attractive trait.
Quote: "This wouldn't be the first time I have been handed a beta product without my knowlage of what it actually is and I doubt it will be the last. Some people find the feedback I give on products extremely productive.
"
Lets say I believe that for more than one millisecond. It's a very self gratifying thing to say, as your trying to imply that your input would have been greatly beneficial. Lets say it is, it's strange then, for somebody who has had access to PB for so long and used it extensively (in your own words above).. That I've never received a single email from you with any such 'helpful' feedback / suggestions.
The thing is, if I truly thought your input would have been insightful, or in any way useful, I would have asked you.
Quote: "That said the language barely interests me, even after use. It is interesting but that as far as I'm conserned is as far as it goes.
It isn't something I'll ever purchase if it goes retail and it isn't something I'm particularly crazy about using.
"
And who was asking for your opinion ?.
Quote: "I said the same thing to Sibley when gave me a copy of BlitzMax. It's a nice product but I don't really see me using it much."
Well, since you brought it up. I'll ask Mark about that...
Quote: "If this was done without your conscent then fine, I'm sorry I have an aparent Beta. Didn't even say beta in the damn help and the site has it up for free, so god knows why you think i'm suppose to know."
and there you have it, Raven verifies without a shadow of a doubt (not that there ever was any) that he's download either a version from the PB home page or the Mailing list preview (which is perfectly public & legal), but then preceded to big note himself, by trying to lie about having accessed beta revisions.
In case anybody is wondering how I know this (apart from being the author of PB), as it's easily verified, as the only editions of PB that don't have protection, have HELP and come in Installers are the public release previews 2.07 through to 2.12b. All of which are easily downloadable.
Unless raven's now going to say he hacked a BETA to run on his system. Yeah that's something a professional with no interest in the product would do right ?
