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."
