Back in the early days for whatever reason, DrLava decided that he wanted to sell RIYA Dacs. He had his ILD SOS program that worked well with them and as well as LDS. All fine and dandy. During that same time he would send feedback about Spaghetti, which I had given him a free copy of. He would tell me that I needed to do something this way or that way in order for it to work right. He coined the name ILDSOS because SOS sounds like sauce and goes with Spaghetti. I never asked for that and he never asked for my input. I really didn't care. But, I guess he felt they went together and if Spaghetti didn't do thinks that made ILDSOS files work as he wanted then it was my fault. Whatever. I pretty much put DrLava on ignore mode at that point and simply humored his requests. As a person, I liked Andrew. We got along alright. But when it came to software he was a bit of a pain in the neck and always acted as if he way was always the right way. I had no time that that. Anyway, now and then he would send and email saying something like "I want to sell Spaghetti in a package with RIYA." I didn't want that to happen. It doesn't matter why. I had my reasons. I said no. Some time goes on and he sends another email saying "I plan on selling RIYA and Spaghetti as a package." No, he did not ask. He just said he was going to do it. Since he didn't ask, I didn't bother with a nice response other than "No. I don't want that." He asked me to explain but I didn't like his attitude so I ignored him. About a month or so later I was just browing ebay and I see and ad with Spaghetti and RIYA being sold together. Keep in mind that the only way a person could get a Spaghetti license was from me. I had no idea who was selling Spaghetti. I assumed it was Lava but I had no way of knowing. He certainly didn't ask me or notify me. And right there in the ebay ad was my website description of Spaghetti cut and pasted word for word. I was hopping mad and sent him and email telling him to cease and desist selling Spaghetti. Besides, I wouldn't have generated the licenses for him even if he did sell it. That's when he sends me all kinds of nasty emails about how much of a bad person I am and how I will get what I deserve, etc. Now, keep in mind that through all of this, other than sort of ignoring his responses and just being terse, I was never rude to him. But, he really layed into me as if I was the one who had done something wrong. But ultimately, he changed his ebay ad and changed it to sell LDS. But, instead of removing the description of Spaghetti he only changed a few words here and there so that instead of saying Spaghetti it said LDS. At that time I told him that he needs to get rid of my description and come up with his on. That was through email. That was a long time ago. A very long time ago and I made it crystal clear. He changed it a little more to what you see now but it's still easily identifiable. You guys don't see it because you haven't beening paying attention. But for me, who came up with it to begin with, it's obvious. Yet, here we are in 2012 and now he is selling LSX with the same description as the one he used for LDS which was based on the original ebay add when we was selling Spaghetti without permission. He has already been contacted by me twice about it in private. Now, it's in public and again he acts as if I am the one who has done something wrong and that he is totally innocent. Yea, it's just some BS descriptions and they seem pretty generic but it isn't generic at all. If you guys don't see that or don't care, that's fine. But, that's the story.
