  I know them quite well. There's Ian Schmidt, who has been actively
attacking anyone doing anything for the GS for several years.
There's Rich, who hung around Ian too long and has become bitter
and cynical. There's Mike Horwath, who sells computer equipment
but fails to ship it (and deposits the checks anyway). There's
a bunch of users of Horwath's Internet service, who have nothing
whatever to do with Apple IIs, but hang out there because their 
provider does.  Then there's Dave Roberts and Brian Tao, who 
participated in illegal hacking of hypermall.com.  Dave Roberts 
works at an Internet Provider too, and intercepts his employer's 
email and forges responses with his employer's name.
  And while all this is going on, these people have the gall to attack
the integrity of people like me, Steve Disbrow, and Joe Kohn.
Kind of ironic, don't you think?

  Yeah. #AppleIIGS is a great bunch of guys.
