     Another desperate commercial for the A2-Delphi forum. As usual, it
is accompanied by a slam at this newsgroup. 

     Possibly, there would have been more friendly messages on the forum
or some other Delphi, Lycos, etc. Apple II forum. That sort of thing is
what message bases are for. Unfortunately, any negative analysis would,
very likely, be deleted by the A2-Delphi Happiness Patrol.

     There were a few "flame"-type comments:

a few were in a personal attack upon Dr. Tom by David Ong Tat-Wee

one was a personal attack upon Dr. Tom by Olivier

several were slams on the Second Sight card (by Mitch Spector,
  Jeff Blakeney, and Rubywand)

a couple were slams at Mitch Spector by Supertimer (for which he
  posted _two_ apologies)

several were attacks on Csa2 (by Jeff Blakeney and Joe Kohn) linked to
  A2-Delphi commercials
      
in addition, Mitch Spector complained about being attacked for his
  views and Beverly noted that fear of personal attacks might
  discourage some Csa2 readers from posting.


     So far, no one has attacked the game. About the closest anyone came
was Mitch Spector who noted Second Sight's limitations vis-a-vis
animation.

     Yet another gratitous slam at users and Csa2-- aside from which, it
is inaccurate. Your expression of gratitude comes two days after much
more substantial praise from Dr. Tom.
