I haven't done so, nor called anyone bickering and childish (really you shouldn't do that at the first glint of disagreement, as a rule of thumb, let alone to people older than you). I figured we could discuss this simple matter without anyone feeling bad about it, even if we don't agree, O_O this isn't politics or religion, chaps.

Yes, they were.

there's also the fact that abandonware in AB rules implies it was commercially distributed at a time, which shareware was obviously not.
If you mean the additional episodes, you were charged for them. If you mean the initial episode, they were "commercially distributed" as long as that doesn't mean exactly the same as "sold for a sum".

Anyway I'm just trying to make my points, it doesn't mean I feel hard about this, and I'm not going to drag this discussion forever. Myself however I'd be in favor of a poll (first one public, then maybe one for staff, then let the admins decide); we're talking as if this were a positivist philosophic matter, if shareware should be on the site, when it's completely discretionary.
