Hi Dorktor,

And our putresent Dorktor oozes:

You have permission.  But you never offer to show it to 
anyone, or produce it.  And you're a known liar.  It's a safe 
bet that you continue to lie.  That's probably why he says 
"illegal", you dim-witted bacteria.

If you have done something legal, it has been tainted by your 
past.  If we are wrong, you will have to produce evidence of 
the fact, and lots of it, and for quite a while before your 
stench is washed away.

Or go into denial, and pretend everyone likes you despite the 
evidence.

Ah.. Now I know why you and the other Turlettes continue to 
attack A2 programmers.  You fear them.  Because they have the 
power to create, while your power is to suck the life out of 
their work and claim it as you own.  You want your name in 
the limelight.  "Coordinator"... heh.

 *> Jeff.  Like so many others on the Apple2 Delphi forum - 
someday you might

The odds are against it.  Stupidity is a tsunami.  The smart 
folks have taken to higher ground.  Only us nimble kittys 
charge the muck and mire to do battle with it.  :)

Competition is good.  Even in matters like ours.  Pathetic 
Putrid Pirates vs. A2 Citizens.

Whoopee.
