     Unless you believe suggestions are direct implications that Beagle Bros
is screwing up, your argument is not quite right.  I was making a suggestion
of what I felt would be more beneficial to the Apple II community.  If my
words were perceived to be whines to Beagle Bros, they weren't meant that
way.  I said several times I wasn't complaining, and I also said several
times that I think Beagle is doing a great thing.  What gives?
     Beagle could start making doggie-doo scoopers for all I care: I don't
have direct control over them, nor did I have the faintest intention of
putting them down!  If Beagle Bros has this attitude of crushing any
suggestions, they won't see any more of my money.
     As for your thoughts that the Apple II community was DEMANDING their
own terms for their software, you're full of it.  I don't see one "I demand"
or anything nearly similar!  The software is not free, as you say.  Even though
the LD phone call would only be a couple bucks per program, it is _not_ free.
Period.  I was suggesting (look it up, make sure you know what it means) that
more people could see Beagle's great programs (no sarcasm) if it was put
on a wider board.  If Beagle is so numb to suggestions, I don't see why they
are the good company that they are!!!
     What would also be a good idea is that this discussion be dropped.
Obviously anyone making suggestions are going to be ignored or just outright
bitched out.
     I'm speaking for me and me alone.  If someone did make an unusual demand
of Beagle Bros under your guidelines, fine, I'll agree with you.  But I
haven't seen one YET.  Don't dare blame the entire Apple II community for what
one person says out of line.
     If you want the software, call Pro-Beagle.  It's very nice of them to
do it.  Just don't ask any questions; you'll be guillotined.

     Nothing personal to anyone, really.  This subject finally got under my 
skin.  I think a lot of recent topics are going too far, including the subject
of this note.  Alright so I'm hypocritical: finals are coming up.  :-(
