Crackers wrongly naming software labels

I dont mind Excess, Role, Demonix, etc. cracking or first releasing my games, but Im starting to find it quite annoying where those crackers/suppliers get the names wrong on the scrolltext. They write down (name of game)(C)2002 TMD and Civitas. For heavens sake guys, Its not TMD, it is TND. In future please use (game name)(C)2002 by TND or maybe (C)2002 Richard Bayliss. I would respect that.

Being a Finn that I am, I thought I'd better make a good alias for me as nobody is able to write my real name using standard UK/USA keyboard. However, in those very few cases someone has written this alias I have "dosoo", it's almost certain that it is somehow printed wrong. Too many "o" -letters or even a "c" in various places in the word.

My opinion is that most of the people related to this kind of retro computing don't bother reading all the words they duplicate thoroughly. The other reason may be language barrier. A word which doesn't mean anything is transposed to a word which distantly means something. Most of this can happen unnoticed by the author.

So as long as my name keeps appearing wrong (even in your writings, TMD ;) please don't aggressively attack against someone, who may have written your name wrong. What I have noticed over the years is that most English speaking people don't know how certain words are to be written. This contains also French people, who are rumoured to have official competitions about correct grammar.

Don't let the typing errors fool you
