Quick update - there is an obscure issue with the registration that seems to
be turning up about five hits a day. If you call customer support and
describe your circumstance, they can get you a registration/activation key
over the phone. The number for registration is 800-845-0147. Until we pin
it down and squish it, reg by phone is the workaround for this issue.

Later -

I doubt that... not Our Dear Zane. He wouldn't call you a "f***ing jerk"
simply for being present in this newsgroup -- provided you were 100% in
agreement with him on all issues under discussion. I'd guess that he called
you a "f***ing jerk" because you were in disagreement with him on some
point, however minor. I'd also guess that compared to Zane's opinion of some
of the rest of us, "f***ing jerk" might be high praise indeed.

It isn't difficult to determine where Zane stands on people who disagree
with him.

He, you must understand, has Divine Dispensation to misread numbers by 23+%
to try to make a point (about which he is wrong anyway, for example, when
electronic computers first were created and used), to redefine your terms in
order to shoot down your argument, and to change his own definitions
multiple times in any argument. You, on the other hand, do not have Divine
Dispensation to be correct if he doesn't want you to, even if your
contentions are fully supported by what the rest of the world perceives as
fact.

Well then, for the record, you should bother reading my posts here before
insulting me. Count the number of lines, the *overwhelming* percentage of
things I write here are well outside of the picture of me you'd apparently
like to paint.

Nope, that's not the reason. Btw, do you have trouble saying "****ing"?
Is there something troubling about that string of letters?

Do you have anything intelligent to say or is the heat in Phoenix affecting

I hear it gets much more colourful and substantially warmer when you "try to
get Zany" in off.ramp

Does this mean you agree with the statements you've elided? Yes, I can
see how disagreeing with only that one sentence could induce boredom.
