Summary: 

Well, we *did* get JP's advice here not so long ago; he advised
people not to use cp/m function (37? I can't remember for sure)
because it occasionally and insidiously trashed disks.  He was
promptly sh*t upon by lots of folks who then gave their own
version of what they thought was happening.  His final exiting
comment (repeated several times), was something along the lines
of "when will I learn?"

I enjoyed the various "what you won't see in JP's column" pieces;
his general attitude does gall me frequently;  but I do read his
column, generally enjoy it, and I think he provides a useful service.
As to why you have to buy BYTE to get the service - hell, if they
could, wouldn't most of the people on the net sell what they
casually give away here; that is, their opinions?

*My* opinions, though I would sell them if I could find any
takers, are obviously my own and not those of etc.
