Actually, Olin, he DID get some responses from those of us who KNOW who
Avocet is/was, who KNOW what the AVMAC51 assembler is/was, who don't
discriminate against people who use processors other than the PIC/SX, and
who regularly use DOS programs because of need or desire.

Why do you insist on continually showing the PICLIST community just how
boorish and trivial you can be by firing off emails that tell us nothing
except why you wouldn't send a reply in the first place. Frankly, if you
cannot or will not provide a considerate, useful response, don't. I've had
several newbie PICLISTers complain off-line about you and a couple other of
our most cantankerous members over the past few months. Make no mistake
about it; you are a valuable PICLIST member and when you do manage to
provide help, it is usually of very high quality. However, when you rant on
as below, I have to wonder why James doesn't step in with a warning about
civility. I, for one, grow quickly weary of the kind of response found
below.

If saying this, James, get me kicked off the PICLIST, fine. I feel, however,
that we shouldn't allow Olin's bad temperament to ruin an otherwise great
discussion group. In words I assume you'll understand, knock it off!!!
