Whoa dude, I NEVER condemned your site. Show me where I did that? Didn't
happen. I never told anyone to NOT go DL these files and watch them. I
didn't not say anything negative about the site at all dude. All I know
is, I went there a few weeks ago, waited for the files to DL and when I
got it and opened it up, I got this message saying I needed a new version
of RealPlayer. (Which you can only USE with win95/98.)
Now, I spent ALOT of time going thru the process of viewing your video's
only to come up short. Im not blaming anyone for this, BUT, had I known I
would of been wasting hours of MY time, I would have not DL the files. I
was simply attempting to save anybody who might still use win31, like me
for example,  some time is all I was after in my post. N-Kay.
FWIW, my reply wasn't even about you, Andre, the video OR your site.
N-kay. Don't read too much into it. N-Kay.
:)

I have the right to voice my opinion any which way I like. If I chose to
condemn your site, I absolutely have the right to do so. OK? Its a free
forum and free speech is still in effect AFAIK. Just so we understand our
rights here dude. 
I have no personal grudge against Bill Gates. Its his companies -so
called- lame upgrades I have an issue with.

You got it all wrong. Completely wrong. 
Id love to see the vids. AFIK its the only video with more than one roc
in it. (Someone else has some footage but the site is extremely slow to
DL the files. At least for me it was.)
I Don't even see where you get any negative attitude towards you, Andre
or your site from my post?
