Point taken. Again, I base this on conversations that Scott and I have had many years ago, so... well, there you go...

This was when I was maintaining the early MAME (and Retrocade... remember that?) history database(s). I dropped it because people were emailing Scott with some nasty messages about how horrible he was for hoarding prototypes (and many of the messages were over-the-top in their bile). I was pissed about all of the ridiculous nastiness and "quit the sk3n3." Someone took the database, made an edit or two, slapped their name on it, and called me all sorts of bad names. So I turned the database over to Alexis in France, and... again, there you go...
