Well Booby, I never said THIS FORUM took my money, now did I?

I merely came on here and inquired about how much, if any, Bearshare charges. There are, apparently, 3 or 4 Bearshare's out there.

Don't even tell me I'm a "newbie". I started downloading music before you were discovering your boyhood and left hand.... at Napster, Audiogalaxy and everywhere else.

When I asked about "why did this forum take out one dollar", I meant the TYPED WORD....ONE DOLLAR....NOT THE MONEY.

The scam site that you are so sure of is MusicLab, LLC and I have no problem downloading 2,500 megabytes in a 3 hour period with them.

Sure hope you're not a computer freak because you would jump to conclusions about whatever was not functioning and probably try to jam an IDE ribbon into a SATA drive while trying to figure out where your chipset is located.
