Penman rants and I reply:

<<You've got the email to back up your claims, Tom?>>

Yes I do!

<<That always seems to be missing from your "He's been contacted but doesn't
care about the posting" messages.>>

Not missing - it's just that you don't care to follow up what is offered you to
follow up with.

<<We've asked before--just share the email and we'll believe you.>>

Yeah right, I don't give a flying monkey if you believe me or not Penman - I've
done that several times in the past.  And, it's always either ignored or
debated over to no end or nit-picked to death or all of the above combined. --
i.e.; every line of src. codes from the FTA collectives, NoiseTracker, Sound
Edit, Sound Ace, Medley, the entire AOL Apple II collection to Ground, Merlin
(and all of Glen Bredon's Apple software), Einstein Complier, Word Perfect and
the list COULD go on and on but why should I bother, no thanks... - it's a
complete waste of my time and energy. 

And, what does "We've" got to do with the issues?  When did Penman become a
collective spoke person for OTHER people anyway?  You can't even post here in
your REAL name!!
  
<<Otherwise, it's a pipe dream.>>

In your mine it is and will be FOREVER!

Pipe Dream?  ;)  Nice IIgs game.  Somebody needs to upload it to Asimov.

<<I for one haven't the time to go after copyright holders.>>

<<And I know for a fact that Apple won't release the
software--I've seen the email.>>

Show me yours and I'll show you mine.

<<Steve Jobs?  Sure--so just post what you have and I'll offer a public
apology, IF it says in no certain terms that AppleWorks is now able to be
released as freeware with no strings attached.>>

That's on you to research Penman - I gave you his email address for you to
contact him by. What do you want now - his home phone number?

<<Same with C2+ which you also claim is a "they don't care" catagory.>>

That's exactly what it is a "they don't care" catagory. That's a NEW catagory
with old Apple II software that you seem to be able to comprehend and give the
name to it - but, can't seem to grasp the reality of it's existence in the real
world of the Internet today. 

Cheers,
Tom
