I'm not trying to single you out, but I don't think DOS386 or Eric Auer (for instance) should be pariahs either. We need to all get along and work together if we hope to accomplish anything. Nitpicking each other to death won't help.

And sorry, but it really does seem almost like a slap in the face with your "MS-DOS forever!" sig, as if it's just meant to annoy people or be rude.

Japheth, do you honestly want me to criticize DOS386? Will that help anybody? I don't like it when it seems people are ganging up on someone else. If you have problems with his Wiki editing, either discuss it with him or just let it slide. Blindly deleting the same mess over and over is a waste of time and isn't going to change his behavior.
