Truthfully, if Nathan is ripping off some old  AppleSoft books, who
cares?  Lets let Apple persue its own copyright litigation if it so
decides, if not, let Nathan spread around any information he can find. 
Its not LJ's job to police Mr Mates.

If you see a copyright violation, then you know what you should do.  You
should notify the person who made the no-no, and then, if they aren't
intersted, inform the copyright holder.  Its no one's job but Apple's to
persue Mates.  This kind of useless junk is what makes this group such a
displeasure to read.

Nathan, I know you don't like AOL very much,  but can you just say "idiot
flamer" instead of "idiot flamer from AOL" in the future?  I happen to be
a very intelligent kinda guy who uses AOL as a medium of exchange for my
business, as well as for many other uses.  I know its got its faults,
there are millions of newbies on the system that make it a trial, and the
software runs like crap on my Macintosh IIci, but still, it has its
values.

Just a recoomendation, Nate.  If LJ, or Turley, or anyone else is baiting
you, then why bother to waste your time and stoop to their level?  It
really amazes me how nasty people can be online.  If you respond to the
crap, then you get pulled down into it.  They'll get tired and leave
things alone after a while.  

Just another person who reads this group, posts once in a while, and is
amazed at the level of maturity of this thing as a whole...
