May I ask why you are still posting here? After all you did to screw up the
WOA '99 show and after all the lies and fraud, I can't believe you would have
the balls to still come to this newsgroup.

Bojay,

Because he knows I don't read this group much. Mr. Vendel has been
noticeably absent on rec.games.video.classic BTW.

Boo Hoo my site was hacked my ass!

All references to his antics, and apologies on his site have
disappeared yet strangely he finally credits me for the first time for
something http://www.atari-history.com/videomusic.html on the very day
he is forging my emails and cancelling my (and others) posts. And what
happened to this page during your backup Curt?
http://www.atari-history.com/whatsnew/apology.html

While some people think I should lay off the guy, I suggest they read
the following http://www.villagevoice.com/columns/9914/hakim.shtml
and read it completely. I was burned bad as were a number of my
friends, this will not stand.
