Agreed.

Even allowing for Nathan's tendancy to rant, I'd presumed from his posts
that this request had in fact been made. Is there, therefore, a possibility
that no such request to Asimov has ever been made? Or if it has, has
Nathan (or friends) by chance in possession of any evidence of such
requests being made?

PS: Who, just out of curiousity, is the copyright owner of Appleworks?
