"Thanks to Darryll DeCoster, Senior Internet Designer for Zippo, the suite is now available as a free download."
Chickie, IF that's a true statement then this person hasn't done anything wrong.

That is clearly just plain ol' ripped. The guy even copied/pasted the descriptions word for word. This fella needs to get a clue...

This is unauthorize use of others work. The ripper even used our screenshot and also our description!
It seems that custo''s admins are not moderating anymore.
I will warn Zippo for them to let their lawyers to take care of that.

Thank you Chickie. (Haven''t done a lot of web surfing lately so hadn''t a clue.) I usually just keep my nose buried in blinds and such inbetween babysitting.
Thank you too Jafo for your taking care of this problem and for your time and attention out of a busy (I''m sure) schedule. And if you took care of another concern for me, I appreciate that too.
