[Coco] bye

[Jim Cox]

Daivd:

I am really sorry to see you leave the list, but as one 
who has also considered leaving the list because of the 
recent crap going on, I can more than understand your 
wanting to leave.

Having said that, I would like to ask you to reconsider 
leaving the list, because if we allow this crap to drive 
us away, then the CoCo community suffers.

While some people feel that letting these "copyright" 
thread degrade into a flame war is contructive, I do not 
count myself amongst them.  The should not have been 
allowed to go on as long has it has.

I have been involved in the online CoCo community since 
the mid 90's and I have seen garbage like this drive off a 
lot of both established and new CoCo enthusiasts.

I have remained silent too long with regards to this 
recent ranting because in the past I was shot down for 
speaking up.

I have posted several messages to the list, only to have 
them lost in the clutter due to this current ranting. 
 This is very discouraging.  I am at a point to where I 
can finally start playing with my CoCo again, and this 
crap comes along and I can't get a freaking answer from 
anyone.

I hope David changes his mind, but if he doesn't I can 
understand why.  It's a shame that he is leaving, because 
it really hurts this community.

Jim
