I've said it before: when Phoenix got started, the most vocal posters here were adamant and hostile - they did NOT want to see announcements or dialog from a movement critical of Gatemiga and Gatemiga developer relations. Wayne himself was firmly in the camp that believed in Gateway plans for the Amiga but still supported the right to post news from the rebel lands.
When I met Wayne at St Louis in 2000 there was some tension because we still seemed to be diametrically opposed. But actually the conversations eased that feeling and were interesting and friendly.
Wayne is a leader, in my book. He's set the tone, and no doubt will play a part in that wherever he goes.
