> Bill, you are suffering from delusions of importance.
Me? No, like I said I'm just an ordinary punter. Are you suffering from delusions of intelligence?
> We are not obligated to answer any of your questions.
No, you're not. Then again, you have no right to stop me asking them. I know it will come as a shock to you, but you don't own the community (for all your attempts to buy everyone in sight) nor do you own the public forums. That's why they are PUBLIC, you know?
> Besides, you are just a old grumpy man with an axe to grind.
...and you're just some guy with a liking for the stuff in the drinks cabinet, but I won't hold that against you. Have we exchanged enough personal insults, do you think?
> You do not care about MorphOS or the Pegasos. You said it.
Care? Care?!?
What's with the sentimental cr*p? I am asking substantial questions because I'm interested. How am I supposed to know if something is worth paying attention to if nothing of note is known about it?
But care?? Why should I "care"? I don't work for you, so I don't "care" what happens to Pegasos, MorphOS, Genesi or you. I do want to know what it's all about though, and it's not your place to decide who should be paying attention to what you say in public or not.
> So, why is it everytime we turn around you are here to poop on the party.
> There is no other explination. Why don't you do something constructive
> for the Community?
No explanation for wanting substantive answers? You're seriously delusional if you think anyone asking questions is just trying to "poop on your party". This isn't YOUR party anyway, so anyone has total rights to question anything you say in public. If you don't like it, take a leaf out of the Frieden's book and take your toys home.
> Tell you what! We will retain your services to write us the plan you are
> so insistent on having?! That would be a win-win situation! Come Bill,
> can you do it? Name your price!
No, I can't do it. Do you know why? Because I have no idea what your concept is about! There is no material to work with. If you haven't got a clue what your products stand for, and why any of them should have any worth beyond a tiny minority of hobbyists, how the heck should I know?
You're the professional, as you keep reminding us. So, since I'm just a punter, your challenge is simple: you persuade me that I want a Pegasos or MorphOS.
So you're baiting me. Fine, I can live with that and your insults. However, there are others reading your posts here who are not necessarily decided whether to buy into your vision or not. I'll let you work out what they will be making of your replies. |
