Cease fire? Oh, do you now concede that QC wasn't making death threats? Have you
withdrawn that accusation in the latest A2MG, as you made it in the A2MG #849 last
Thursday, about two hours before Lady Sandra made her accusations here?

Have you apologized to Joe Kohn and Burger Bill for cutting them off without
notice, but telling everyone on the list that the reason why they were cut off was
because they didn't do what they can't do, and what you never asked them to do:
silence QC?

Oh, oh yes, and here is a new accusation: QC violates copyrights... what illegal
copying did *he* do? And, as far as "protecting" someone violating copyrights, he
brought to your attention that it was happening. Rather than an accusation, it
seems to me that you owe him thanks. Further, you've never been a big supporter of
the people you call vogons, so why are you acting like one now? Is it because it's
YOUR ox that got gored? Oh, it's ok to burglarize my neighbors house, but not
mine!

You told A2MG subscribers that we would be cut off  if we engaged in name calling
of *any* Apple ][ personality, or if we mentioned A2MG on Delphi. But that doesn't
stop you from attacking people and calling them names. It doesn't keep you from
receiving money from people who are directed to you by people on Delphi, even
though you complained that that was done.

You know Bev, I was warned by some person at Delphi in a private email (none of
the above, well, I suppose it could have been QC since I don't know who he is)
that I should stay away from you. I thanked them, and decided to ignore the
warning; surely, I thought, they must be bearing a grudge for some reason. You
seemed so nice, at first, and the newsletter was occasionally interesting or
informative. But it didn't take long to see that you like to control when, where
and what people may say, and if they don't agree with you completely, you'll cut
them off from the Mail Group.

You keep putting down and dissing Delphi but you know what? That's a very peaceful
and friendly place. You and A2MG are mentioned in posts there *only* when someone
asks for help with Appleworks, and someone on Delphi directs them to you as being
the person with the answers, the person who can help. Sounds like they really hate
you huh? Putting money in your pocket and promoting you and your work. When I
tried to point this out to you in a private email, you turned on me breathing fire
and threats. No, I'm not staff at A2, why would they want a newbie's help? But
those people have been helpful and friendly and kind; welcoming me and others with
open arms. Not with petty suspicion, threats or control.

I would not be surprised to learn that the reason I haven't received an A2MG
mailing since last Thursday is because I had the gall to quietly, privately and
politely, suggest to you that your actions toward Joe and Bill were unjust.

Off with his head!

He crossed Queen Bev (as some here that you defend have so lovingly referred to
you) and he's crossed off the mail group. Fine. It doesn't hurt at all. When I use
my Apple ][, I don't use Appleworks. I use WordPerfect.

Free at last, thank the almighty, free at last,
