    OK, OK.

    1. You're not obliged to buy this product:
      - it is beta;
      - it is free for personal use.
      - the code is the same for both licenses: personal and commercial ones. No
    any stupid trry-before-you-buy tricks, just use it (if you want to use it
    instead of flaming here) .

    2. Spam:
    Is this group microsoft.public.win2000.security or
    somethingelse.4coolguys.etc?
    Is our tcpdump for Windows packet capturing tool or it isn't?
    Am I right, or I'm selling well-known pills or something for enlargement of
    something?
    Have you ever seen tcpdump output?
    Using netwoork wiretap?
    On Gigabit network?
    Which HDD system did you use?
    All was OK for you?

    We're providing network professionals with the tool which may save their
    bacon, dot, period. For free, btw.
    Yes, it is 1.0 beta, but it works much better than something you already
    know.

    Let's discuss the product, not me and my "spam" habits, please. If you have
    something to discuss, of course :)
