Yeah I remember it as being Alan who expressed concerns too.  Can't find any reference now though.

While thats funny, it is a little unfair, as Fleecy himself expressed concern over the coupon affair right from day one.

I'd love to see reference for that.

I guess it depends where "day one" is. If day one was some point a couple months down the road when everybody realized they had been swindled and weren't going to get any of the T-shirts and coupons they had paid good money for, then maybe Fleecy commented on day one.  But I'm not aware that he "expressed concern," he merely denied responsibility.  He replied to a questioner that the T-shirt promotion was "not his area" leaving it to the customers to hunt down some other Amiga Inc.  person to talk to.

Hey! I found the quote: some interview (question 8).

In my opinion it really said something about him that he wasn't willing to stand up and take responsibility for his company even though he was of high rank.

Haven't you ever read "dilbert"?


Almost daily there are eerily striking similarities between the Dilbert cartoon and what's said on the amiga.com site. The main difference seems to be that the jokes on amiga.com aren't updated daily. I'm not sure who's parodying who.

[edit:]

Yesterday's Dilbert:

At WOASE last year, both Fleecy and Alan said publically in thier presentations that they thought it was a crap idea. There may be MP3s floating around of it.
