Nothing good, I'm sure.  ;)

Excuse me, Imbecilicon?  What claim?  And what would that 
have to do with arguing for the rights of developers as 
stated in the copyright act?

Methinks this is just another red herring tossed out to 
distract folks attention from the fact that the Turlettes 
laud the Dorktor and RosyWanker as such wonderful 
"contributors" to the Apple II Community, when they are 
common plagarists, liars, and thieves.

If the Apple II Community DOES value Turlettes above 
developers, it's no wonder that our programmers shake their 
heads and move on to other platforms.  The Turlettes have 
taken all the fun out of it.

Yeah. You're point?  This is how most programmers get 
started.  But why join the ranks of programmers when the 
focus on csa2 appears to be where to get the latest images.  
Apparently it's more "Cool" to saddle up to the trough and 
chow down on the efforts of past programmers.

Credibility, Lubey?  I don't know where you got this fixation 
that someone who defends the rights of developers has to be a 
developer.  Red Herring as far as I can tell.

I don't have to pass your little tests to voice my opinions, 
fool.  ;)

Ah.. The obligatory "Nah nah nah.. I can't hear you!".  
You've been hanging around 2 year olds too long, Imbecilicon.  
Uh... For GOOD reasons, I hope.

Perhaps, but it sort of take the fun out of it if and when it 
ends up on a Turlette web site as an "exclusive", where Tom 
would claim some credit as "coordinator".

Vogons For a Turlette Free Apple II Community!
