So you'd best behave.) > nope i sure didnt know of the free offer. i simply got it in an unrelated trade from another list member, had my day with it, and decided to try and reasonably sell or trade it in the same fashion which i procured it. thank you for coming out and clearing the air with your own perspective and information. but i will say once again that i feel this whole "ordeal" could have been much more constructive and less noisey if the matter of the cd being still available free had simply been originally brought to my attention via private email. umph. in the process of deflating my reactions- -Thad
