-
- Yes, Willy needs to get his head on straight IF he has one? I know Jeff and
- Asha well enough to say that they honestly reflect the feelings of the
- MAJORITY of Amiga users and Willy reflects the attitude of a handful.
-
- >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.
- >Wj> But start charging dues; use them to get known, noticed, etc.

- >Get a grip Willy...Team Amiga was started as a joke for Christ sake!
-
- Yes, Team AMIGA was started as a joke, BUT for Willy's information, about
- 1/3 of Team AMIGA members have Usenet email addresses as well as or instead
- of Fido addresses. I would think that before Willy shoots his mouth off
- here about what Team AMIGA is and isn't ... he should get a good grip and
- find out!
-
- Team AMIGA (in only 4-5 months) has over 400 members world-wide. Team AMIGA
- members aren't in this for the glory, Willy ... we are in this to help and
- to assist Amiga Technologies, Amiga vendors, and the Amiga user-base.
-
- And for Willy Tamm's information, Team AMIGA has several projects in the
- works as we speak. Pay attention, Willy, and maybe you'll figure that out?
-
- >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!
-
- No, Willy, nasty email doesn't accomplish anything. If I can't say it
- public, I won't say it at all! "OUR" thinking caps are on Willy, and doing
- quite nicely ... thank you. Seems that YOU may need to don yours before you
- output from NIL: again?
-
- >Sounds to me like you have an axe to grind...
-
- If Willy wants to grind one, he's found a good person here to grind it
- with! :)
-
- Sorry to use your reply to post off of Jim. You know this wasn't meant to
- you.
