So, how many WB skinners also got this e-mail from some scammer trying to blag a free alpha of WB4, I know Gabriel got it too, so that's what makes me sure he's a geniune cheapass conman:
From: "Eric Plett"
I saw your Stinger theme on WinCustomize and I think it looks great but I
was wondering if you could maybe send me just the Alpha of WindowBlinds 4 so
I can test the theme out. Thank you.

He probably thought it was worth a try. What did you respond (or not)?

I was nice about it. I sent him a link to stardock.com and told him it was available on object desktop, at the time, I couldn't tell if he was trying to solicit warez or just a confused user or something. Sheesh, yaknow Eric, for future reference, skin authors are probably not the best people to ask if you are trying to find pirated software, just a heads up there bug guy!

I didn't get a reply back from him, But if he thought it was free, why would he be emailing skinners to "send" him the program? Shouldn't he have been asking where to get it instead? He obviously wanted us to pirate the program to him.
