I have to say, I completely agree.  Maybe its because I already have a beta
of Fargo, I don't know.  What the person/people that posted fargo did, was
wrong.  Its like begging Lotus or Microsoft to release a program to you,
telling you not to post it, and then doing it anywayz.  But, even though it
is wrong, people are still going to do it.  Ellsworth and the others, being
the sole developers of Fargo, had requested that you don't post it, but of
course, no one could wait, so now all you have to show for it is a buggy,
half-finished shell, cause all TI Lists to backed up with way to many
questions.
Well, congratulations whoever
