Well Larry, it sounds like you are part of the reason the esif is down. The
bandwidth you consumed could have served up thousands of hits for folks
desiring to use the resource. You are right. It's worth the money. You
should have bought it instead of helping to deny it from the online
community. How could you possible say "it's worth the money" when you were
unwilling to spend it? It obviously was not worth the money to you. And
don't try to justify it as being like software piracy (i.e. "It has no real
effect on the publisher"). Passing around copies of, say, Office 2000
doesn't have the same effect as raping the esif site. But I guess it doesn't
matter. You got yours. Mighty noble of you to wait until you heard it was
going down. Quite the trophy.
