To begin with, I take the fact that there wasn't a huge amount of traffic
in here as a compliment, as I managed to solve 90% of problems via the
voice support calls. Secondly, there wouldn't be much mail addressed to the
support mailbox as I was receiving most of it. What did come your way was
forwarded to me.

My apologies, point taken. I wasn't aware that you weren't an employee
either. Apologies again, as in that case you shouldn't be taking any stick
on these matters either.

I agree - partially. I raised that point (payment) to notify everyone else
in here generally. When I did quit, I had one or two pieces of abrubt mail
to my new address accusing me of "dropping Atari users in it", and I felt
it was time to let certain people know that I did it far more as a hobby
than for renumeration. It wasn't a direct dig at DIS or anyone within the
organization. My original arrangement was made with Grahame Davies, and I
was perfectly happy with it, up to the point where users expected more than
time allowed. I agree it's not a subject for public discussion as such, but
yours is the first reply I have had from anyone within DIS since I quit
last October/November :(

ATB, Frank.
