[Coco] Copyrighted ROMs

[Lee]

Wow, I don't think I've seen this level of "unfriendliness" in this list
before.  Out of all this entire thread, I've only see two
non-confrontational responses that were actually related to the OPs post.
One saying to provide links instead of the actual material, and one saying
the links might be troublesome as well (although that one through an
"irritating" jab in as well).  I'm normally a passive reader of this list,
but this thread has just rubbed me enough the wrong way that I had to
reply.  Now that I've also contributed nothing to the OPs original post,
I'll go back to lurking. :)
