Thank you for your opinion.  However, a couple of points about your
article.  Firstly, you should make some reference to the URL where
you downloaded, without which no-one can follow you.  Secondly, the
act of top-posting has lost all the sequential information of the
thread.  

Please do not top-post.  Your answer belongs after (or intermixed
with) the quoted material to which you reply, after snipping all
irrelevant material.  See the following links:

The only way to get the source code is to send the author your email 
address , what is that all about !!
