So I rip other's off 'eh???  I pay for my OC-12 connection, I PAID for
the servers I run on, I pay the people that work for me, I paid for the
PhotoShop that does my image editing... I paid for my news software, in
which the templates INCLUDED their website source... let me ask you
this - I suppose 95% of the people in the world "rip" people off,
considering they use Front Page, or Corel's graphics library.  I simply
used the default layout.. not because I was ripping it off, but because
I thought it looked NICE.  Goto altavista.com - search for earth.gif -
and look at the 5 million results you get, and then notice how many of
them are the same image.. I guess you hate a lot of people who "rip"
things off.  You ASSUMED that because I used the same site template as
Dieresis that I stole it... well, you were wrong.

I already explained your "rip-off" accusation... but the entire
apple2world.com site the efforts of someone else?  Perhaps you haven't
looked around... One page uses that template, nothing else.  Oh I know
what you mean, since I used the English alphabet to type  the words on
the site I suppose I ripped off the forefathers who developed written
communication... ahh ok...

Glad to have you there, you'll probably keep the forums active.... and,
you've inspired me to put up your own section of the site!!!

Check out the soon to be released Apple2World Asshole of the Month
Site :)

You say that you've contributed to the apple2 community.... can you
provide an example or two?

And in regards to Turley's site taking the work of others and posting
it online.... he has a lot of original stuff on there, and sure, he may
have some content made by other people as well, but guess what - it's
CONTENT, and it's CONTENT that would be lost forever had he not put
forth the effort to preserve it.... I'd say the world is a better place
with his archives.  I guess the way you look at things is if they are
no longer being actively supported, it should be killed off - and screw
archiving it for other generations to see.
