I will describe him as a contemptibly foolish person instead (aka JERK).

Which is why a lot of old shareware is useless today.

MJ> His short-sightedness is confirmed in the documentation:

ML> what short-sightedness?

The kind that makes programs useless after 25 years.

MJ> Newer version of the KITYMAIL key file will be available on the
MJ> "Someplace to Start" BBS and will be distributed freely to other
MJ> BBS's.
MJ> He just wants people to call his BBS to artificially inflate his ego.

ML> for some reason, you seem to have missed the last part of that
ML> sentence... "will be distributed to other BBS's[sic]"...

What good is that when those BBS's no longer exist.

ML> in any case, if the software doesn't meet your needs, don't use it...
ML> complaining won't change anything...

Complaining did change something.
