- (Sheesh.. I don't have time to go through his posting line by

- I've got new messages from the Indigo Girls mailing list to
- read, and "Short Bikers" mail to get to.. things that are
- infinately more important than bothering with his naivete`)
-
- Grow up, David... taking pot-shots from the sidelines is
- certainly a lot easier than being on the "firing line" as
- Dave Baggett is, but it doesn't add much to your credibility.
-
- Go to Sunnyvale and get trashed by Atari like Dave did, and
- THEN come back and talk to us.
-
- Talk to Mike Vederman, who had to take a second job to keep
- Double Click alive in the wasteland that Atari has created,
- and THEN come back and tell us all how it *should* be.
-
- Talk to Charles F. Johnson and John Eidsvoog, and find out what
- platform they're developing their newest programs for, and WHY..
- and then tell us what terrible businessmen they must be.
-
- By the way.. you seem to have definate ideas as to how people
- who try to support Atari with their lives and families should
- conduct their business... can you tell us just what part of
- your income is from your efforts to support Atari..?
-
- If David Baggett is a lousy businessman for not *demanding*
- that Atari talk to him on *his* terms, and Double Click are
- "responsible for their own demise", then tell us.. just how
- are you able to make a living in the Atari marketplace..?

- expect some kind of "what's yur problemz with Atari, eh?"
- response... but it's fun to poke you now and then..)
