You must have a sad little life. I do know about your work. I've seen the programs
that you advertised on Texas II webpage. I was a subscriber to the Mail Group. I
saw you say that you couldn't do a quick fix to Quicken so you quit. I might not
know all that you have done. I certainly don't know what you are doing now. But
only a small person would make the reply that you made above. Why? 1. It isn't
true, 2. it's a small person's attempt at a put down.

That isn't true. Nathan Mates was a programmer/developer. He was driven off by the
community, because, in his mind, the community tolerated pirates. So, you are
wrong. Care to try a different tack?

The community as it is? You just claimed in a post above that you have quit
programming for the Apple II because of piracy. So, one person has harmed you, and
you take it out on the community that, according to your statement above, has given
you tremendous support.

Even if that person left, what he or she has done won't be undone. And their going
or staying would make no change in what has happened, so how could it change your
perspective of the past?
