perhaps i'm just missing history. certainly wouldn't be the first time.
but as far as anyone has been able to tell me, *** exists only electronically. you're sort of the doyen of the amiga community: can you unequivocally state that *** exists as a real, flesh-and-blood person? that would certainly be good enough for me.

All I can say is, in my one year here I think I've had more contact with the owner here than most, (Bit like when I was at school, think I was the only kid that the Headmaster kept a spot in his schedule clear for me each week as it had become such a regular occurrence of me being sent there) anywhoo I digress...
From my own contact with the owner, I can safely say I am firmly of the impression that he has nothing but the best of intentions for the Amiga Community and is both a fan and great supporter of us and the Amiga. While I understand why he may wish to try and remain anonymous (a lot of nutters about you know) and I respect that even though I may not agree with this Howard Huges approach..
I can only say it's really not of any importance to actually know who owns this site and don't understand what all the fuss is about over it, there is always Bill you can contact if you've got something to ask but you can also contact Transition himself anyway via PM...
Thing is if you enjoy the site like you say then what's the need to know who or what owns it, just enjoy the place and accept thing for what they are if your happy with them (which you seem to be). I don't even watch the BBC but just because I have to buy a TV Licence each year to pay the BBC for something I haven't watched for over 15 years (yes we've still gotta buy a TV licence in this country or risk going to jail) doesn't mean I need to or want to know who the current Director General is (and yes that his title, bloody mad in this country so they are)...
Talk Amiga, talk rubbish, have a laugh, have a serious conversation even... but there's no point in worrying about who exactly owns the place, which you can do for free and the subscription fee (if you want to pay for one) is a hell of a lot cheaper than a poxy TV Licence I assure you (and at least you don't risk a £5000 fine or jail time for not subscribing)...
The site is free so enjoy something for free and be happy & for that privilege...
