You have classified me as a thief, and others I associate with. How do
you know there is no honour amongst us?? You are not amongst us.

My antics?? All I did was set up a site with some non-available
software. I even took off software that you sell when you informed me
that you sold it , as I was unaware you did. It is your antics and
rantings, not mine. I was the one that was called a fascist, and that
sure didn't bother me.

Where do I crow about my accomplishments?? What developer on this
newsgroup have I stolen from??? The only comments I have ever made
were ones saying that I had a lot of support for my site, showing that
people like yourself are the  minority.

It is your posts like this that have started the wars and caused any
lack of proper Apple ][ discussions. As Richard Bennett and I finished
our flaming/discussion within emails to clear that part from this
newsgroup, it is your constant postings about "what is wrong with this
picture" and throwing abuse at me and others that keeps things going.
The flames had all but ended, but you insist on keeping this piracy
discussion going. If you truly want this to end, then don't reply to
this post and let the thread die.

Settle down and stop posting garbage like the above and no-one will
have need to reply and flame, then we can go back to useful
discussions like we had weeks ago. I say again, if csa2 is so bad, why
do you not stay on Delphi??? Why come into this "cess-pit"??? I do not
understand your logic.
