sometimes having your own "company" gives you certain liberties that you really can't take when you're a mindless drone trying to tow the party line.

email just received, sent to "support at valissoft.com":

Subject: hmm
Body: "y cant u just give it free"

that is the complete email. including the double space in between "give" and "it"
The Response from the "president" of the company:

Subject: Re: hmm
Body: "y can't you write an email that gives me some clue what you're talking about?"

damn freeloaders...

Valis
President and CEO of Valis Enterprises
**the other things that came to mind were things like:
"Because i have to eat"
"You have to take me out to dinner first just like everyone else. gotta pay for it before you hit it."
"cause giving it away for free makes me a "slut" and i prefer "whore""
