It's kind of impossible to notice a new trend (or is it new?) among newbies lately who ask about a game and then ask us to send it to their email adress...

I mean, are we entitled to even consider reading those posts? More often than not they are so short you can't actually even understand what his/her problem would be, why would we even wish to send them the game or even communicate via email instead of "talking" to them on this board?

Most of the time, it's going along the line of "can't download, send it to me!" while it's quite obvious (IMHO) that most of those post simply mean "I tryied to get a game with a program like GetRight or GetZilla and it did not work, so I guess the link is broken". Or they simply really been unlucky and really could not download it, but if they tryied later on they would probably get it on the second try?

I don't know... I'm kind of getting annoyed by those posts. Sometime I wonder if it's only a smart but lame attemp to get some games which are not ABW and/or still sold, other times I wonder if I actually fail to see the point and should really try to contact them...

Anybody else have an oppinion about this?
