RE: Any takers? Repeat: Client Access Licensed Programs

It's also like lurking on a Dodge newsgroup and whenever someone has a problem, 
the promoter doesn't
offer a solution, instead he tells them to buy a KIA because it is better.

I don't understand how Jerry doesn't get blasted by David for all of his 
promotions.  Is it because
he put's a disclaimer first?
