As a side, someone a while back posted what seemed a reasonable factual
$rticle on his view of Dr Tom over the years. I'm not sure if it was fact
or not, but it was well thought out.

I paraphase a point: "Nathan with his recent whinings? would make any 
newbies to comp.sys.apple2 to automatically side with Dr. Tom, which I 
think is a real pitty." While I'm no newbie, I agree with this attitute...
your rants do little to bring people to your cause.

My suggestion, humbly offered, is that you mentioned a 'few juicy quotes
from your web site' [Dr. Tom's, that is]. Why don't you post them. 
Is it too much to ask everyone to reduce the stupid insults [of which I
admit I've been guilty too], and at least stick to some semblance of
facts.
