I see, and have you forgiven Thad Floran(SP?) AND Jay Miner? 1/2 :)

Yes, *I* followed the complete thread. I knew that Stephan had a number of
Amiga programs under his belt, even before he posted the message on Usenet.
However, He posted his message about Amiga PD he had written on the SAME day
as your COMPLETELY un-needed attack on him on Usenet. What I am saying is you lugged out
the flame throwers when they were not needed.

And all I was trying to point out was that people sometime have a habit on
the net of getting 'huffy', when they would not do the same thing in person.

BTW: I have seen X and Dale has done a hell of a good job!!

Usenet brings out the good and bad in people. I hope you can understand where
I was coming from Steve, I just got a bit 'huffy' when I saw people jump all
over Stephan.
