Your reply just proves my statement that this channel is just what I have
said - You want to be a elite club, a kind of holy Vatican in the IIgs
community and all the II gs users and programmers who do not belong to
you, are only common pawns. It's the same parasitic and egocentric
behaviour which I experience in my university every day. I don't know
why the IIgs community needs such people. Everyone can try to write a
few lines of code and advance to a decent programmer if he really wants
that. In fact, I prefer the guys who learn to program or to research and
not only learn to talk!

I have offered my FTP site for the convenience of everyone, nothing more!
If you don't like it, don't download anything from it. I have created the
site mainly for the NICE people on csa2. When I have finished fighting
against guys like you in my college, I may even write one or two programs,
who knows? Come on, insult me if this makes your ego happy!

: : For more info, see the section about 'arrogance' in my web page.

: You sure spout alot about arrogance for someone so self-centred.
: *Your* FTP site. *Your* web site. #appleIIgs types are out to get *you*.
: Get off it. *You* are looking for attention, which is pretty pathetic.

Sorry, I said 'my' FTP site again, but I guess it would not make much
sense to say 'your' FTP site. I doubt that people which such an
egoistic attitude would create one.

Know that I am not the only only one who is offended by your rude behaviour.
This includes not only countless A2 users, but also full-blown programmers
like Mitchell Spector, Jawaid Bazyar or Jesse Blue. If you really want an
elite club, stop advertising it in your www pages and shoot yourself to the
moon. The Apple II community can do without people like you.

I hope Apple pays you well for the hostile behaviour to the good folks
who still want to keep and use their IIgs? Thirty silver pieces don't go
far in these days...
