True.... if you only read Richard Bennett's replies to csa2 you'd think he was
a total jerk.  But I have found him to be an extremely courteous person to
everyone on Delphi's boards.  People should not take what is posted to csa2 as
a total read on someone's personality.

OTOH.... I've lurked in the background for the last couple of years and yes....
you're correct that Nathan wasn't always the source.  However in the most
recent months you couldn't get reply from him on any question posted to csa2
without some sort of snide remark towards other csa2 posters.  The piracy issue
had become such an obsession to him that he was acting as judge, jury and
executioner to anyone who wasn't as fanatical as he was.

There is no question that Nathan is a talented programmer.  But in the end, he
alienated a lot of people (including some that were originally on his side) by
his behavior in this group.  So if anyone brought Nathan Mates down, it was
Nathan Mates.

Why even bring this up?  Unless you want the paranoia to continue?
