Jawaid Bazyar (bazyar@netcom.com) screamed from comp.sys.apple2:

:   You are the one who is being illogical by assuming all sorts of
: things about me and what I think, when you have just admitted that
: I have said nothing on the subject.  If you (or Ian, or anyone else)
: can read my mind, that's a wonderful gift you've got.

Please drop the cynicism, baz... I'm not trying to attack you on this.
I don't really see myself saying anything out of place in my last post.
I can put it this way - this is what most csa2'ers see because _of_ your
saying nothing on the subject:

- Developer: "We've got lots of neat stuff that needs baz to add blah to
   the kernel."
- Baz: "I'm too busy, I won't answer that, that's my business."

Yes, you haven't said anything, but you're also alluding that you don't
care.

:   They're being implemented, but very slowly.  Look, I almost stopped
: selling product at the beginning of the year because sales dropped
: like a rock. They've picked up again recently (thank you!) and that
: will certainly have some effect on my priorities, but at the moment
: the Second Sight card is on a very tight deadline, and if it's a choice
: between steady pay and "glory", I'll picky steady pay, no questions
: asked. 

Well, thank you for that small glint of hope.
See? That's almost just a simple as it has to be. In just that sentence,
you've told us:

a) SS in on a tight deadline.
b) Sales have picked up and will have an effect.
c) They're being implemented very slowly.

Thank you... that's a lot better than not saying anything.
