But it was shut down for about 3 weeks. I made my point. But the fact is that 
brutal deluxe software and joe kohn can blacklist me, plagarize, blatantly lie 
about incidents and outright slander me, but I don't care.

Oh, and by the way, brutal deluxe didn't prove anything. I wont post my 
original letter to CSA2, but I think I made an ass out of joe, nathan and 
brutal deluxe. Nothing was "stolen" from anyone. If anything was proven, it 
was that Joe didn't lose a dime because of the prank. 

The fact is:

  1 - I am still here.
  2 - Joe is still a two bit lowlife software dealer scumbag who wants to
      completely control the dead apple II software market.
  3 - Nathan is still a right wing wacko who flames anyone who doesn't 
      agree with him.
  4 - My web site still exists (albeit someplace else).
  5 - I am not going anywhere.

I dont have any stakes in the apple II world. Joe and Nathan do. So does 
zardini or whatever the heck the guy's name is. And slowly but surely, the 
apple II community is beginning to realize that people like joe and nathan do 
nothing more than poison the remaining life in the apple II.

Joe and Nathan are internet nazi police. They want complete control over a 
dying commodity, only to suck the remaining life out of the community while 
blaming those who simply choose to revel in it.

Here nor there, I could care less.

Me, naive?  Cummon, get real.  I have better things to do with my time than 
argue with a bunch of apple II zealots who dont have anything better to do 
than shut down places like asimov because they are infringing on "copyright 
laws". Give me a break. If these companies really cared about asimov, and what 
is there, the place would have been shut down along time ago.

Live and let live. There is a ton of "illegal" software on asimov, and no one 
gives a shit but nathan and joe. Nathan disagrees because he is a religious 
freak, and joe hates asimov because he sees it as money being taken from his 
pocket.
