Reading it again he obviously is. Ignoring the obvious spelling and
grammatical errors as English isn't his native language, what a sad
individual.

I think Neil might have something to say about it being the worlds best
Amiga magazine. :)

He's a bit slow in both terms of the word. News about the forthcoming Opus6
for Windows has been public knowledge for many months. Who exactly are "we"?
He writes as if he's a major player and influence in Amiga land.

Gee he's really got an axe to grind. I think the only spirit he knows about
must come out of a bottle. :)
I'm at a loss to know what his problem is with there being a version of
DOpus for the PC is. If he doesn't wish to use it fine, that's his choice.
But why all the bad-mouthing.
>>Its up to YOU! To do the right thing now! Stopp the PC version..
LOL. Yeah right, discard all the months of programming, the potential income
from Opus6 and starve because he says so. :) Oh boy, this gets funnier with
every sentence.

Unfortunately his English isn't too clear, It could mean that he will be
bad-mouthing Opus6 and/or GPSoftware, or attempting some other harm on the
program. But, whichever way you interpret it, he should be made aware of the
consequences of making such threats, assuming anyone actually reads this
magazine of his.

I've had for ages.
Now, will the village who's lost its idiot please come forward to claim him.
