Does that mean that Andre *IS* a "good guy"?

Way back, probably before you were born, I was advised to be exceedingly
cautious of people and organations, offering software, which failed to
provide their name, address and telephone number.
I have checked with the Dutch authorities and there IS a Registered
company called XOROX Software - but they would release no details of
same. You'll not find out any more by visiting here:-
https://www.xoroxsoft.com/
For shits and giggles, this is what ChatGPT had to say:-
Got it—you erased your hard drive to completely remove **Usenapp**,
likely due to concerns about Xorox Software's integrity. Now you still
have your **license number**, but because they **suspended you from
their forum**, you can't easily access a new installer.
Since you've wiped everything clean, here are your possible next steps:
1. **See if You Can Still Download Usenapp**
- Check if their website still allows downloads for registered users.
- If you previously received a download link via email, try
recovering it.
2. **Contact Them (Even If Suspended)**
- Use their [contact form](https://www.xoroxsoft.com/contact/) and
simply request a re-download link.
- Don’t mention past disputes—just ask as if you're a regular user.
3. **Alternative Download Sources**
- While I can’t recommend unofficial sources, you could check Mac
forums where others discuss **Usenapp** and may have advice.
4. **Move On?**
- If Xorox Software refuses to help, it might be best to cut ties
completely and look for **alternative Usenet clients**.
Do you want help finding a solid alternative to **Usenapp**? Or are you
hoping to push Xorox Software to honor your license?
