until Cycling74 apologizes for all illegal activities they have undertaken
and Ircam ceases to grant them a monopoly - there exists ironie.
Cycling74 constitutes the BIGGEST THIEF in the entire MAX "community".
Secondly - Cycling74 has _by _far committed the _most
numerous clandestine immoral activities.
the MAX distribution is in part ILLEGAL.
am sympathetic to your argument however -
for am aware you are referring to your objekts.
