Hi Jason,

I am an ex-preacher so get ready 8-).

Do what you feel you have to do, but isloating yourself is self defeating. I 
do not agree with everything I see on any mailist either and yes folks can be 
be very opinionated... especially developers. You have to remember the only 
difference between software/hardware developers and artists is the medium. I 
have never met a more touchy-opinionated group than artists and musicians. You 
and all others on this list have a lot to contribute. I only WISH I had half 
the time some folks here have to develope on the CoCo. Hummm... maybe I better 
be careful of what I wish for 8-]. You and all the others make up the family. 
Like families, there WILL not always be agreement nor are the accolaldes 
<<sp?> going to be handed out as they ought. Like the rest of the world, there 
will ALWAYS be folks here who think their way is better and you are a jerk if 
you think differently. I saw it in the discussions as to why USB should or 
should not be implemented on the CoCo, as well as HTML, as well as networking, 
as well as.... well you get the picture. But who cares? In the end guys such 
as yourself, Boisy, Mark, Roy, Roger, Gene, etc keep trying, developing, and 
computing. God bless you! Others have taken the bull by the horns and 
commentted a tremendous amount of time and energy archiving CoCo magazines and 
any other documentation that is fast fading away. Again GOD BLESS YOU ALL! It 
is folks like you that have kept all those poor ole CoCos out of the trash 
heaps, and kept folks like me coming back for more. So keep CoCo'ing and have 
fun with it. Your site is great and keep developing it, but do it for the 
right reasons. I like it and plan to visit it more, although I am not a 
developer... yet.
