    Jim Maricondo is a total flake. Bug him at digisoft@hypermall.com
to get off his rear and get working.

>GNO/ME 2.0.6

   Derek Taubert's in the process of moving before starting a job at
Cisco systems. In about two weeks, things might have stabilized enough
to start bugging him again. It's nearly ready, just needs a bugfix or
few [sorry, I keep noticing random bugs that hopefully nobody else
does :] and another util or few [re]writtten.

   Go ask the pirates. They're taking over this newsgroup, making it
pretty much pointless for anyone here to want to develop anything. The
only reason why I'm working on things is that bughunting is fun
personal challenge, and no pirate is gonna give give a shit about
bugfixes.

   In public, these vultures claim to be waiting until things are dead
before ripping into it. You can bet that there are far more worse
things going on in private, given the outright hate they show to
developers, publishers, and people with the guts to stand up for the
truth here. 

   The body count over the last few weeks has been pretty phenomenal:
Joe Kohn, Henrik Gudat, Ian Schmidt, and many others who didn't bother
to say goodbye. There is no compromise with those who are seeking to
kill off developers. No "can't we all get along," this is war, and
they're winning. Anyone who claims that is trying to sucker you out of
the way for now while they wage their war anyhow.

   Would the last developer to leave c.s.a2 please change the sign from
"Apple II Forever" to "Apple II: KIA. RIP. AMF"
