   Doesn't mean jack ****. The copies you had on your ftp area could
run just fine on a GS, and _WERE_ copyrighted. You and the facts never
knew each other, though.

   100% bull**** again. Repeat this again, it's libel. I do not
consume any things stronger than glucose or caffeine, and I do not
abuse those like some undergrads here at Caltech. I have never smoked,
I have never used illegal drugs. The only alcohol I ever consume is
a sip of communion wine once a month. 

   Fact is, you're the one who's consumed drugs and messed up your
brain. Unfortunately, your idea of reality doesn't intersect with
anyone else's, but you're convinced that the world is wrong, and
you're right. It ain't that way; please check in at the nearest loonie
bin.

   Efforts for the A2 community? As in being an obnoxious old fart?
As in not knowing when you're clearly in the wrong and need to accept
defeat gracefully without a massive fuss? As in driving many
well-mannered people from this newsgroup and the Apple II because they
can't stand to see the Apple II associated with such idiots?

   Bull**** again. I'm not debugging GNO 2.0.6-- it's a damn nice
program that owes a lot to Derek Taubert. I am providing tools to
expand the wedge of program breaking-- where a GS/OS (not your sector
edited FTA VAMPS atrocities-- the FTA could do reasonable code, and I
don't think you f***ed over their code that much) might crash 1% of
the time, I can expand that up to 100% of the time. GNO 2.0.6 is
benefiting from this, but that's a side effect.

   Same thing you said a few months ago, and I challenged you to
specify PRECISELY WHICH pages didn't work. Given that you and facts
are never seen on the same continent, let alone solar system, you
couldn't do so. I ran a WWW link checker over _my_ pages, and found
that the only page that had a few bad links was about 6 links out of 20
on the other Apple II people page. That's out of 1049 links on all my
pages. Once again, you're so full of S**T that it's really pathetic to
see you try and argue anything.

   Thanks for the reminder to update that other A2 people page. My A2
site is for Apple II information, not other A2 people, but I updated
the page. Since your main reason for attacking my pages was only this
one, and you're so desperate for attention, I made sure you got listed
on it. But, for those of you who don't want to open up my page, here's
the relevant section:

---
Types that WILL NOT get a link no matter how hard they beg, for the
reason that they are whining, drug-consuming verbally cluelessly
offensive idiots who still need to come back to reality from all the
drugs they consumed 20 years ago:

   Next time you try and claim "bad links," provide facts. Just
because you're on a sucky Internet provider that can't get to any
pages but your own doesn't mean that my pages are at fault.

   Trying to buy me off with pirated misspelled software isn't going
to work. You have been a major dork for too long that the only way out
is a full repentance and permanently changing your ways.
