Hey Christian, and everyone else here...

Well, that ends that one... :-)

That was kinda of freaky too, wouldn't ya all say, like "someone was 
watching us"...

Thanks for the post though, Christian!  Good thing I didn't get to use 
them yet anyhow, and then maybe have LIKED them, and then have to STOP 
using them. So it worked out pretty good for me. I will delete them 
right away!  :-)

Also, I never got that "agreement" to begin with... nowhere to be found 
on my download from your website. I use OS X, hence no access to the 
VST implementation of this software anyhow.

Take care,
Chris M.
