It doesn't matter what actions he advocates. At least he speaks. Hundreds and
hundreds of others do not.

>I know that you have contributed to the maintenance of Apple II software.

That's not what I do. I have written a ton of original Apple II software which
has now been pirated on the web. Because of this, I no longer write Apple II
Software, nor do I release the works of others which cross my desk. 

>you might suspect that I don't value your contribution

I don't care what you think. You don't even know what I do [shrug.
unimportant.]. 

Yes, there are a few [Blakeney] who speak up. However, the vast majority do
not. Day after day, they continue to miss out on great opportunities because
they do nothing to silence the pirates and remove them from this scene. As long
as most of the legal, honest users remain silent and allow the ineffective qc
and penman  to speak for them, nothing will happen.
