     All of the material seems to be credited-- Dr. Tom's KF exclusive is loaded
with "From: " headings and signatures.

     Possibly you (or Cindy) is concerned about the quote beginning ...

>>
For the past 10 years, Apple II enthusiasts from around the globe have made an
annual pilgrimage to Kansas City, Missouri, to learn more about their computers,
share their knowledge with others, and rekindle the spirit that has made their
virtual community unique and powerful.

Agreed, Cindy's name should be attached. However; the quote is followed by a link
to the KF web page on which it is presented-- i.e. credit is given to the KF
organization as the source and the reader is encouraged to visit the page (where
he/she will find Cindy's name).

     Well, you did post them on one of the _public_ Apple II forums; so, why the
"dismay"? Did you say something dumb?

     Checked the report again. Your stuff looks like regular chatting about goings
on at the Fest-- nothing especially dumb.

     The decent respectable thing to do was to report the events of, supposedly,
"the major Apple II Event" of 1999. If news media reported and quoted only what
the subjects of their reports wished reported and quoted, there would be no news.

    "Lapdog" appears to carry a pejorative taint!

     I did not lift anything from any of the KF threads or contribute anything at
all to Dr. Tom's fine report. (Actually, did not even read the report until it was
published.)

     Feel free to apologize.

Plan???

A "plan" (plot, conspiracy, ...) to make your bunch look like puffed-up boorish
anal retentive screw-ups?

LOL! As if!
