Amiga software authors must be the most difficult to contact
I remember the owner of Miami years ago "disappearing", then the MUI guy, the IBrowse guy.
Everyone these days is contactable but no, not Amiga programmers.
And if you do manage to contact him it would not surprise they refuse, well because they can.
Unbelievable.
This may sound harsh, but people's lives change greatly between their twenties and forties, and the behaviour you criticize is most definitely a result of that.
Many of us Amiga developers started out when we were in our early twenties, and it has been almost 20 years since Commodore folded. That's a lot of time in which we went to university, moved, married, got a job, changed jobs, etc. As soon as you have a family to care for, your life is never going to be the same as it was before. You lose contact with your friends, your spare time shrinks, you have commitments to your job and your company which take priority over what used to be more fun.
Now, I'm still single, don't have a family of my down to care for, but many of my friends I knew since school, friends I met at university, friends I met in the Amiga field, their lives have changed so much in 20 years that it baffles me, and it humbles me, too.
So, please don't consider the lack of "love" for the old Amiga material to be arrogance or negligence. Things change, and they change at different speeds for different people.
There's that, and technology has changed, too. How do you contact somebody on the Internet whom you could reach 20 years ago via e-mail or IRC? This has become more difficult, not less difficult. You don't need to go back 20 years, it's been difficult for even 10 years.
