(Sheesh.. I don't have time to go through his posting line by
line and point out all his naive and "perfect world" ideas..
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..?

(I don't actually expect that you'll read all this.. and fully
expect some kind of "what's yur problemz with Atari, eh?"
response...  but it's fun to poke you now and then..)
