Oh please ... Sellam is one of the most helpful people in our entire hobby.
I've seen him puts huge amounts of time and money into helping hobbyists who
he never even met. For starters, the VCF franchise has NEVER been about
making money, it's purely to do something great for hobbyists and to
hopefully not LOSE money.

to flourish even though it isn't run exactly how
you want. If
ClassicCMP is nothing but "petty bickering and flame wars", they why
do you regularly avail yourself of us when you need a manual or other
artifact?
I was taught it was extremely bad Netiquette to ask for help (or physical
items) on a list (or newsgroup) that you did not also contribute to, and in
particular on a list that you didn't subscribe to.
Somenbody helps you, you repay the community by helping somebody else.
Seems reasonable to me.
For that reason, I ignore any messages from Sellam now.
