Rich does NOT get paid to answer net mail as I understand things.  He
works testing Think's software for robustness.  He, like many of us,
answers net mail out of the goodness of his heart.  After answering
enough net mail as a continuous stream of complaints, we all tend to
break under the stress and perhaps we do get a bit cocky.  The solution
to the problem is for people to be a bit more polite to Rich and not
hassle him so much.

I stress this because I am somewhat in the same situation here at Apple.
So is Larry Rosenstein.  We all would like to help people with their
questions whenever possible, but we DO have work to do.  So I'll get
back to work on HyperCard 2.0 and hope that this group can spend more
time on the technical issues and not spend so much time hassling each
other.
