Boisy, you're sadly wrong with your accusations.  If I ever, ever, 
knew that you sold me a copy of "HBD-DOS" I would have bought 
it.  I'm going to dig through my saved e-mails tonight and bring this 
thread out.  I save all private CoCo messages.  I never cloned any 
part of HBD-DOS nor do I have any interest in doing so in the future, 
mainly because there is nothing there that I'm interested in.  You 
know very well from many past debates that CoCoNet is nowhere near 
HBD-DOS.  You chose to give away DW3 for free because you were pissed 
at me.  You should have kept it for sale and competed if you think it 
compares to something I've done.

CoCoNet is free.  DriveWire is free.  What's the problem, Boisy?

And you want to talk about riding on somebody's back??......

Cloud-9 was the first ever banner I posted on the original coco3.com 
around 1999-2000 and I have never removed it in 10 years.  You've 
been right up top there for the whole world to see and have received 
over 100,000 clicks on My Back.  I do these banners for the whole 
community and never charged you a single dime, although you have made 
sales, no doubt, because somebody got to your site from mine.  But 
you know, I don't even think about these things because nobody owes 
me anything at all.  Nothing.  I never hold anybody to the fire until 
they attack for no reason.

And to this day, through all the attack's I received from anybody 
from Cloud-9, your banner still remains in circulation on every 
single page of coco3.com and continues to this day to receive 
clicks.  If I was unethical or unfair, I would have removed you a 
long time ago.

BOISY PITRE: This I promise with every honest bone in my body: I have 
NEVER made an offensive move towards Boisy, Mark, or anybody 
associated with Cloud-9. These constant accusations of doing so have 
hurt me and possibly the CoCo community as a whole.  Would you please quit?
