Hiya,
What a good thread to start! Although I didn't know antdad well at all, I still sorta developed a certainly flawed, but hopefully at least partially correct opinion of the guy.
I have one story to relate about him and you can form your own conclusions. This goes back a while ago to the Mantic fund donations, of which I kicked in a few bucks.
I hadn't heard back from him after offering the money, so I wrote another note asking where to send the cash and things like that. He writes me and gives me the email address, and tells me I can send the $50 there. Antdad mentions that the British Pound is worth a little over $20, and the contribution was for 2.5 pounds. Sweet man that he is, he graciously offers to cover the extra amount needed in making up the difference to the $50 I sent in.
Well, what can you say to a gesture like that. You gotta love the guy.
Martin
