Jan–I am confused, I thought the BBS busts were a result of "pirated software" being available for download. Were the busts due to adult software? Distributing a disk with a Trojan Horse (or virus) with or without a warning is unacceptable to me. A vendor who knowingly distributes virus programs has more problems than the inclusion of some adult GIFS. We are only hearing your side of this issue. A description of the files would allow us to determine if the material you are complaining about is R, Adult or Porn. I don't think any swimsuit type GIF files have to have any warning for example. Why don't you identify the compnay so we don't buy anything from them. I have no interest in purchasing from a vendor who knowingly distributes a virus.
