Hi everybody,
be aware, the author of 'Rashess' sent tonight his 'source' to me. It contains a zipped textfile 'textfile.txt' with a virus... Bad loser...
Best,
Alex

Hello Alex,
You seem to be attributing motive to the action. Are you in possession of facts to support such a position? Or have I misunderstood the last part of your post?
Any clarification would be welcome. Personal comments/attacks are of course off topic and not welcome here.
Later.

Hi Roger,
the message was meant as a warning for others, maybe he sends his 'source' also to other people. I am sorry for the 'bad loser' but I am a little bit angry, feel free to edit or delete my message.
I will not write my personal opinion about other people in the future again.
Best,
Alex

Alex, you can delete Rashess anyway : if you open rashess1.exe with notepad and search for "zibi", you will find the e-mail address of Frank Zibi. This was found by Claude Dubois.

Hello Alex,
Thanks for your post. Your intent is appreciated as is your courteous response.
Your post will of course not be deleted as the tone and content is within the bounds the Boss set for the Forum.
Your annoyance is understood but I really would hate to think that he posted the tainted e-mail deliberately. Certainly I would wish to give him a chance to explain the incident.
Thanks again for your time.
Later.

Hi Roger
Anyway the fraud is proven (see my post above) and I doubt the "author" of "Rashess" will write again in this forum.

I have no doubt he did it deliberately because of his text. I got viruses in the past by other CC friends by accident, this may happen of course.
He didn't explain the cloning but denied everything so I don't expect anything by him.
Thank you for moderating and your help to keep the forum alive!
Best,
