Hmmm, looking back at this exchange, I can see where one point is unclear, and
this could be the point with which (in your words) ``Paul was "very pissed off"
that you would even say such things in a public forum.''

The tirade started on FAUG-BBS with one person (Jack Palmatier) discussing the
articles in AC and opening speculation as to the (new) Bandito's identity.
The names of John Foust, Matthew Leeds, etc. were openly bandied-about.  I
conjectured Paul due to a perceived similarity of writing style.  Jack's
discussion with Don Hicks cooled things down.  Because there was NO evidence,
I complied with Paul's request, and stated "It has come to my attention from a
reputable source that Paul Montgomery is NOT the Bandito." (The preceding from
FAUG archives). 

The ONLY reason this matter has resurfaced was due to Lee Carter's question
about the Video Toaster whose availability has been promised for some time.
Live demos of the Video Toaster have whetted our appetites for this product.
My comments focussed on the promises made by Tim and Paul for the DigiDroid
fix; promises that "should" have been fulfilled months ago and had to be put
in the context they were given.
