RE:"I'm Denny Atkin, editor of the Amiga Resource section of COMPUTE. I find it really interesting that you know the "simple truth" of COMPUTE's Amiga support, considering we've never met or talked, and I've never seen you wandering around the COMPUTE offices." Real funny Denny..As if an Amiga user is so ignorant that he/she would have to "wander around the COMPUTE offices" to have enough common sence to figure out what your Ami support is. (half ass support at best. All one need do is see what comes off the press.) –>"Personaly, I'm quite happy that they chose to keep the magazine going."<– Ya.. I bet you are. You are still are on the payroll are you not? –>"I work long and hard to put out the best darned Amiga section I can. I'm not in it to keep my job–I've turned down a number of other opportunities while I've been at COMPUTE–but because I love writing and I love the Amiga. It really makes me angry to work my butt off and read a flame like yours."<– I have no doubt you work long and hard to do what you do. But yet.. I won't dare ask what other "opportunities" you've turned down…(you won't tell us anyway) If I understand you..you are saying you have turned down other jobs paying *more*? than you make now? I can't believe it. If these other offers pay less..well who would take a cut in pay. Is it possible that you love your position at COMPUTE so much that you would turn down another "opportunity" that paid more? This one has me wondering. As far as you being angry about working your butt off.. and reading a flame like mine..well all I can say about this is what I said was no flame at all! It was the Gods honest truth! If it makes you angry..maybe you should ask for a raise!
