     Tom's issues with the persons you mention is his business (and theirs).

     Otherwise, yes, there have been recent disagreements with Max and Joe. If
you want to whine about the results, feel free.

     Well, you are the one who put them in a single bunch. My inclination would
be to omit some of the persons you list.

     Lots of users are engaged in exciting, interesting II projects.

     The chief issue between the vogon types and most users is availability of
out of print commercial software. You and your associates might as well
understand that there is no inclination to go along with the idea of shutting
out users from free access to this software.

     As for being identified as some arch "trouble maker" for the vogons, good!
However, the fact that you would single out one or two persons only
demonstrates your disconnect from reality. The simple, plain truth is that you
are placing yourself in opposition to the vast majority of Apple II users.

     We intend to move ahead, extend software availability, crack hardware
bottlenecks, and expand II computing. If you like, you and the other vogons are
welcome to participate.
