Awe, I see. So in order to be able to criticize anything, you must be the founder?
um, no. does that gem really represent your capacity for inference? if so, then i'll be happy to explain it to you: anyone should be "able to criticize anything", as you put it; and the very act of censorship (or "moderation", as it is sometimes called), puts a chill on that. furthermore, if _anyone_ is to be "given a pass" and allowed to speak freely, it should be the _leading_pioneer_... for _michael_hart_ to be "moderated" on a listserve for _electronic_books_ is laughable. it is as humorous as sprinkling sugar on pizza.
I'd rather not play the Bowerbird game. Kannons and Katapults is much more enjoyable thanks. You have the questions. You will either answer them or you won't. Should you choose the latter, it certainly won't have been the first time.
you don't really want the answers to the questions, because you'd rather say i don't have the answers. you don't have any intellectual curiosity about this, you just have a desire to try and make me look bad. and you'd rather say my programs are vaporware than to simply go and download them, wouldn't you? i'm just not clear how this helps your _integrity_, aaron. even if you were to ignore how they make you look, don't the lies coming out of your mouth _bother_ you?
That's ok. I'll let you get back to your work. Careful, your pudding is burning. Of course that's only to be expected when you cook it for 2+ years.
no problem. new batch up soon. -bowerbird
