No, actually I was referring to the fact that you have a financial interest
in this, where so far as I can tell, Rubywand derives nothing but personal
satisfaction from the many hours he puts into helping other Apple II users.

Frankly, I view your contribution to the platform as rather minor compared
to Rubywand's.  I applaud him for "telling it like it is", even if it's
politically incorrect. We should give newbies advice that helps them get
started,  they can progress to more advanced uses later. The idea that a
newbie would immediately switch his email over to his new toy is laughable.

It's so transparent that you view Rubywand's advice as an economic threat.

I have no problem with anyone doing things your way, in fact I applaud it,
and I've plugged your software. But don't attack Rubywand for giving honest
advice.
