This has gone far enough.

I read every single reply, and it really shows that this forum is one of THE most unique and wonderful places on the web.

Soo many poeple all pulling together in one lovely big, and quite emotional post.

Much Respect to you both.

What song was it that had the "Peace, Love, Unity, and having fun" sample in it? Was it PWEI? God I can't remember...All I can think of now is "Not now James we're busy"...

Indeed. Adds a whole new meaning to "Unity" too

Sorry to be completely off-topic, and quote myself, but I remembered...

"Hear the Drummer Get Wicked" by Stevie V

And now, back to your regular program

Jeff, I sent you (and Giles) a PM the other day (Monday I think) and in hindsight it looks like a may have had a bit of a premonition.

I've been a Jeff Minter supporter/fan/respector call it what you like since Gridrunner on the Vic-20. I became a software developer because of your influence and I've never looked back since. I say 'Jeff Minter' because that's exactly what I mean... the man, the human, the bloke. You've chugged away in the most selfless way possible for decades to bring pleasure to thousands of people. If a few of these people cannot respect your wishes then that is simply their problem. If this problem then starts to hurt you and yours then it starts to hurt me and others like me too. I hate this. You've done nothing wrong, you've hurt no-one

I, for one will be eternally grateful for you, your work and your friends for their support. I sorry I cannot offer any more support. If I lived closer I would invite you to stay for a while (I have a nice spare room with en-suite (which you probably wouldn't use it!!!)) so that you can be with people who really do care. Actually that doesn't sounds completely right. I know that you are with people that really do care. I just want you to know that people that there are heaps more people outside of your immediate circle.

Anyway, I'm rambling now.

ROCK & ROll

Thats what i call this .Best of luck to you guys.

A question about giles?does he also code games or is he more of Dbase coder?

Ahhh some clarity

This has sure been a confusing place to spend a lunch time over the last week or so.

I find it utterly incredulous that anyone should have resentment towards such a thoroughly nice bloke as Giles. As has been stated this can only be for reasons of envy. I'm sure all who have had the pleasure of meeting you both are of the same opinion as me in that you are most definately of the same 'breed'.

I really hope it does work out for you both in the long term, nobody should be denied a slice of that kind of happiness.

He would if he'd had a curry!
