A89: Re: Bye


Back in December of last year, I remember when I first bought my TI-89 and
subscribed to this list.  I didn't know assembly, and the little that I did
know I can credit to David Philips.  Last year there were over 100 emails
per day to the A89 list, most of them were about the (then) upcoming
Zelda89.  Then I could put up with it.  Now is another story.

If there were only 1 person on this list that gave immensely more than he
ever received, it would be Zoltan.  But thanks to the nameless few, we took
his help and drove him away.  Personally, I have no religion and I don't
care what yours is.  Each of us has a right to do as he/she feels as long as
it isn't threatening to another.  If you do not like it, but feel the need
to comment, do so ONCE and in a manner that is appropriate and thorough.
Twice is one too many, especially so when there is no content.

I am glad that I missed the insane events that drove Zoltan off of this
mal-adjusted revolting list.  If it were not for the humorous Olle and
others, I myself also would leave with the great Zoltan.  I hope you all
have learned something, if anything from this horrible experience.
