Uh-huh.

The only thing that's painfully obvious about this is that anyone could have made up that screen shot. Yet just because someone posts it on the Internet and makes up a story about it, people start believing it.

And I have a bridge for sale too. Sheesh. :hahano:

Hey Tonto... how about you actually try it out. Open the sound files in notepad and see for yourself.

what a load of shit! both what you said and what's in that "article". :lmfao:

if a pirated copy of soundforge was indeed used, logic would dictate that the individual that created the files is the culprit, not microsoft, wouldn't it? :loco:

oh shit, microsoft is logging what i'm typing right now! i'm skurred! :lmfao:
