   I did answer the question. In a different post a day before
Adalbert gave _WRONG_ information. If you've got a problem with what
I said, then prove that the program I said won't run on a //e _will_,
despite its manual. I dare you.

   You've obviously not dealt with Adalbert before. Others have
offered to help him on other things before, and he's said "I don't
want help from you on AnsiTerm" and other things. He's also proved
time and time again that he does not read the documentation, and
hates to have that pointed out to him.

   As to the personal attack, it sounds like you've got no idea what I
do with Apples. I've got a clue as to using and programming them
_because_ I've been doing so for over 10 years. If you've got a
problem with what I say, attack the facts. But, since you obviously
can't do that at all, you have to do the lame substitute of trying to
attack the messenger, not the message. 

   Adalbert was wrong. Others have pointed this out on the newsgroup,
but I don't see you attempting to flame them. If you've got the guts
to try and attack me, why not 1) Deal with the facts, 2) flame
everyone else who's pointed out the exact same fault to him in public.

   If you don't have the guts to deal with the facts and everyone
else, touch s**t. We want the facts here on comp.sys.apple2, and if
you insist on trying to flame just me, so much the worse for you.
