He doesn't set Atari policy. Bob Retelle is someone who likes to insult people. He wants to change Atari so bad he'd rather drive away Atari employees providing us support for our computers than be quiet. After all, if you badger the low-level employees they're sure to march right into the President's office and demand change.

Townsend is a good person. If you keep it up, Bob, the quality of information on this newsgroup is going to decline even more.
