Concerning seeing in Tunnel-vision and only Black & White

"Why does Rubywand need to reach this Chuck Haight?  Why doesn't he just start
making the stuff available.  After all, if it's "OK" to do that to software
that's no longer available, it should be "OK" to do it to copyrighted material
out of a magazine.

Rubywand does seem to have two different views on violating the copyright law
here.  It's OK for software he wants available, but it's not OK for magazine
articles he already has."

To which I reply in a tone and manner that I do hope you can comprehend and
properly respond to:

Greg, 

(A) Rubywand DOES NOT have all the Computist magazines. Those he does have and
the articles he authored from them have been made available. Check my web site
and Ground for them. All that could be made available were made available. 
But, then seeing as how you are such a highly enlightened A2 guru, you already
knew that - didn't you?

(B) Rubywand needs to reach this Chuck Haight because he might well be the only
human on the planet who still has all Computist issues.  After all Chuck Haight
was the Editor for it's duration.  Again, I'll try to make it crystal clear for
you, Rubywand doesn't have any more computist issues nor articles he authored
to release.

(C) Chuck Haight - was a brilliant hardware designer and engineer an author and
a publisher of a very popular and long running Apple II publication, at one
time very devoted to the needs of the Apple II users, who (like so many others
of past) just got FEED UP with all the bickering and hipocracy, with the double
standards of his readers and just up and vanished from contact one day -
several years ago.  And, I don't blame him for doing so.  A person can only
take so much of this before they just wash their hands of everything they DID
believe in and vanished, abandoning it all.

(D) Rubywand, myself and 100's of others within the Apple II community do have
two different views on all matters. I think having such is a very healthy and
productive quality to have also.  However, others don't! 

(E) I've yet to see any REAL PROOF from anybody that any of us are currently
violating the copyright laws with anything we are involved with now.  If you
think we are...then I strongly suggest you present some REAL PROOF to that
effect to the public, rather than just your vague and speculative conclusions
to that effect.  We will be waiting for your conclusive evidence and real proof
on these matters - you so often like to bring up - but, never show any solid
proof to back up your comments about such things.

Cheers,
Tom
