   Oh, really? Do you have these signed letters from the head of SQC
saying that Burger Bill couldn't do anything? If you have anything
more than a document typed up and signed by yourself to scan and put
on the web, let's hear it. In the other corner of this newsgroup,
we have Burger Bill _himself_ saying that he could and did work on it,
but because SQC was too cheap to pay, he stopped work.

   SQC did a bunch of nice things for the Apple II a while
back. Unfortunately, they've stopped that. Facts are, they've never
fixed the well-known bugs in Platinum Paint 2.01, and their Apple II
side has withered from the pricey and aimed at educators market.

   You've shown yourself to be a baldfaced unrepentant LIAR in regards
to a number of issues (you've never apologized for the pack of lies
and drug-induced blather of the VAMPS disks), and generally someone
who'll talk on and on. On the other hand, we have Burger Bill who's
(1) produced tons of software for the Apple II and GS, (2) not spread
lies up and down Apple II groups.

   The choice is real simple: do you hang out with liars with Turley,
or stay with the developers who tell the truth? I'm in the second
category.
