If you enjoying being insulting, go for it, as it will just fall with the
wash here.

The fact still remains, you didn't follow the instructions and expressly
stated you didn't eg:
 NR> So I su'd to msbe and tried to install and it said I wasn't root...or
 NR> something like that.

Thus commenting on the product or others perceived shortcomings merely shows
you never really wanted an answer in the first place. Perhaps you should
start listening rather then immediately taking the negative stance on how
things work compared to how you believe they should work.

Btw, hope you get lucky with binkd and solve the problems you have there.

Cheers,
                Rick
