Now wait a minute....

For the record, I support those who support the Apple II.  A2 might not
be making a comeback, but those who are still supporting it by making
hardware and writing commercial software deserves to be supported.

I just want to make it clear that I have zero respect for people if they
go out and copy AppleWorks 5.1, no matter how old they think the A2
like is.

Where my gripe with Nathan Mates is at is simply his apparent crazy
belief that because he can program and because he can be bothered
to program for the A2, he can abuse anyone who he disagrees with
online.

People should think twice before they automatically associate "pirate"
with "disagree with Nathan Mates" and "love Nathan Mates" with "A2
supporter."

I'm an A2 supporter.  I have a library of legal A2 software and over my
A2 systems' lifetime, I have supported many hardware makers.  That
does not mean I have to take shit from Nathan Mates when he wants
to disagree with something I say or (it seems) because he thinks I
like to talk too much....
