The Don Maslin Sofware Archive

There are some aspects of your post which bother me. In particular: "Her manner with me was unsupportable; I made an agreement which kept her free from annoyance, and she will not honor her part." There was a "request", but not really an "agreement"; and she owes no one anything, nor do we have any right to expect any consideration from her. In approaching her, I think that the view that must be taken has to be based on: 1. This was Don's legacy 2. This was what Don would have wanted I think that any other approach is likely to come off as self-serving, and is unlikely to produce any positive outcome. I also think that "deluging her with requests" is likely to "piss her off", and risk creating a situation in which she says, ultimately, "I called a trash collector and had it all hauled away so that none of you would have any further reason to contact me about this". I don't feel that there is any way of getting through to her other than by a close personal friend. I don't think that anyone who she doesn't know personally is likely to be able to induce her to take any action whatsoever.
