Re: Let's start over

a rose by another name is called extortion.  it's also unethical.  you
prey on those who are incapable of what you can do, and you extort
ridiculous prices for it.  how much precious time does it take?  you
start the copy and walk away for a smoke break and to gab on your phone

of times and i politely explain that it would take you more time than it
would take me, and i'm not particularly fond of the thought of you
browsing through my filesystem looking for anything that suits your fancy.
