No, but you put up a good facade and somehow people do follow you, even
though people like Joe Kohn have had to take legal actions against you to
stop you from bothering them.

I'm sure they can.  That is why I sold it.  My emulator does everything
that I need it to for right now.  I've only flamed you and Adalbert Goertz
 for valid reasons.  You have been shown to me to be untrustworth
(ie. Saying that you are leaving c.s.a2, and then comming back numerous
times), and Adalbert Goertz seems to ask the most uninformed questions
I've ever seen (I have no problems with him, just the fact that he asks
questions that make almost no sense most of the time)

: (IMO) people like you, seem to accept what they hear in rumors from

: But, rather on misinformation, rumors and hearsay - and from their own

Dr. Tom let me tell you how this whole thing works.  When I joined the
Apple II community in 1984, I started to see names that after time I
started to trust.  ie. Joe Kohn, Burger Bill, etc.  Then when I got my GS,
and I started reading GS+, etc, there were more people to trust Diz, etc.
Now, most of these people have either said or hinted at the fact that you
are not to be trusted (or at least that is the impression that I got).
Now since I trust those people, I trust what they have said and therefore
I do not trust you.


: There are still a lot of good people left in the Apple II community that 
: are willing and eagar to FREELY contribute (legally) as much as possible 
: to help -NEW- Apple IIgs owners learn where to get what they need to 
: enjoy their computer - to its fullest potential. I'm not going anywhere, 
: any time soon.  I intend to continue with my efforts to actively and  
: FREELY contribute (legally) as much as possible to help -NEW- Apple IIgs 
: owners! 

The only problem is that, from what I've seen you are not one of these
people.


: I hope you got a fair price for the Apple IIgs. And I hope you sold to 
: somebody that will use and enjoy it. I also hope you find a computer 
: platform that suits your strict protocal and needs, Mr. Plater. I can't 
: say that I'll miss you much!

Yes, I did get a fair price.  I hope that the person gets a great deal of
use from the machine.  And yes Un*x, and Netware seem to get most of the
stuff done that I need to do.  I do still have an Apple //c just in case.


: Think on this one Chuck - as you lolly off into the other computer 
: platforms. I was elected to the post of 'State 6th Preceptor' in 
: Arkansas - at the early age of 16 - as a Jr. Mason and DeMolay Officer. 
: I've held those values, that went with that post and elected office dear 
: to me - to this very day.

Hmmm..... makes me wonder why you never petitioned a Masonic Lodge.
