I feel real bad since this was my first posting and to have this happen makes me wonder if I will read this net any more. I was going to e-mail my responses but felt that this S*B should be raked over the net for this insanity. He has tarnished the reputation of what I felt was one of the larger more respected users groups. Again, I apologize for rattling the net with what I thought was good, no GREAT, news for the Amiga.
