Apparently your user group got the same Atari screw job that our user group
got, along with many others...  "Promises without the Performance"
 
Hopefully, now that Sig Hartman is gone, this kind of abuse will be

Now that Bob Brodie has the job, we can hope for more truthful relations
with Atari user groups...
