Actually, I thought Don's AC editorial did have some real merit, it wasn't
just sour grapes for being "scooped".  I was working on an essay piece, which
I figured might end up here, in a "letters" column, or possibly in the (maybe
defunct at this point) AmigaWorld back page essay thing.  My point was that,
especially in a market as small, vibrant, and fragile as the Amiga's, you have
a certain responsibility to that "environment" as long as you're part of it.
That goes equally well for Commodore, 3rd parties, magazines, and users.  Maybe
some day I'll finish it....
