Re: ANN: Retiring from A2 world - Good Bye All!

Oh, this is a nice helpful post.

Since Tom is gone you feel you need to step up and keep away those who 
had been driven off by his offensive behavior?

Let's face facts people, the Apple II world can't afford to drive away 
anyone.

I've certainly never been called a fan of Beverly, and have little need 
of what she has contributed, but, how is the Apple II world made better 
by denying her work to those who do need/want it?

Nathan Mates created software. Beverly created software. Joe Kohn is one 
of the last people to sell and support software.

What have you created Steve?

How are Apple II fans enriched by not getting new software? How is our 
use of our machines enhanced by not being able to buy software that we 
want because no one has stocks to sell to use anymore?

Here was a wonderful opportunity to not post anything, and thereby 
improve our community. Too bad you feel that a smaller Apple II world is 
a richer one.
