- Well, as the original cross-poster ;) let me 'amplify'. I left quite a
- bit of the original cross-post and commentary by WillyTamm in, so that
- International usenet people could get the flavor of the post. Perhaps
- too much :( My original cross-post was cut to show the original flame-
- bait as well as Willy-Tamm's attempt to get more information. As he said
- there were some interesting points. Most interesting, to me, was the lack
- of any response from SMG or AmyTech.

- Wj>> It's just unfortunate that many reputable Amigaphiles, such as Jeff
- Wj>> Grimmett and Asha Develder employ that "cute" American trait of
- Wj>> naivete and spend their time blissfully bantering away, when just a
- Wj>> little bit of cynicism helps view the world for the not so nice,
- Wj>> idealistic place that we's all like to imagine that it is?
-
- >This is all very nice Willy...but why are you posting this here, instead of
- >on Fido where these people can defend themselves?
-
- I cut this out of my original cross-post as obvious flame-bait and patently
- stupid. I responded separately.
-
- Wj>> Now, write me some nasty email, telling me what you think of me; and then
- Wj>> get your thinking caps on and let's make something happen!
-
- >Sounds to me like you have an axe to grind...
-
- This may be and that's why I deleted so much of his original rant. I
- haven't a clue as to why he chose to "re-cross-post" his original fido
- message.
-
- I'm still trying to find out what is-was going on tho ;). It seems that
- the most logical/dependable explanation is that SMG lost the exclusive
- distributorship.

- Wj>> Team Amiga, etc....great P.R. but does anyone outside the Fidonet world
- Wj>> know about it? No offence to the volunteers who've been working on it.
