   all i did was work with jesse and make some sense out of the mess.   
   then i called it an unoffical version for people to download.

   bullshit.  he will not talk to anybody about renegade.   
   I'm sure he wouldn't care if a monkey was running renegade, though. He was   
   glad to let it go.

   Patrick spense refused help many times. he also refused to pass it on all the   
   time.  I had a team of people that wanted to work on it and he told them all   
   to fuck off.   
      
   Just like YOU, he wanted to be the renegade developer. He wanted to be the guy   
   with his name on it.

   I don't even think jeff knew you were playing around with it.   
   Jeff released it because he loaned patrick a bunch of hardware and he didn't   
   give it back and Patrick was ignoring him.

   that's absolutely not true. You're just upset that people used that piece of   
   shit i made.  I am in no way a renegade developer. i just put it up there   
   because i figured it would be useful for people.   
      
   the way your guy did things, it was a huge pain in the ass to update through   
   various versions.

   I am posting on my own board.  it's just gated to rob's board.   
   I run 4 bbses but I'm going to take down graveyard for good because i'm sick   
   of using that shitty renegade software.

   if you knew me you'd know i don't care what people think.   
      
   and I'm not a fan of jason scott but he sure hit the nail on the head:   
      
   "Note from Jason Scott: For a number of years while I worked on the BBS   
   documentary, I came into contact with a good number of the developers for   
   Renegade software. To say there's some miscommunication between different   
   parties is an understatement. Part of the problem (if it can be called that)   
   is that first of all, Renegade was a popular BBS program, meaning there was   
   significant worth and value placed on feature development and work, meaning   
   more pressure for whoever announced they were working on it. Second, the   
   software's source code has been tightly controlled since its creation, meaning   
   that only authorized parties could develop it. This meant a small web of   
   trust, and also meant that if whoever was developing the software wasn't doing   
   so to the satisfaction of the large (non-paying) audience, they recieved an   
   awful lot of grief. Finally, Windows' acceptance and dominance of the x86   
   platform meant that Renegade's development was stalled at several critical   
   junctures. As mentioned above, work has continued, but there are a lot of   
   broken hearts and bad feelings left behind with this program."
