Well, yes, it is, and I fully agree with you, but since my Nomex

Redmond is one of the worst offenders in the "I won't buy your
product, but I'm happy to steal it, relabel it, and sell it as my
own, thereby putting you out of business and what are you going to do

But I'm not the one to start that thread... ;o)
