Being that both Robey and Eagl are/were Pigs at the time, and I was "in the industry" I had an interesting vantage point for this whole mess.
For example, the "screenshots" Voss posted of TAS used the stock 3D Max textures. My art director (none other than the legendary Max Remington of MPS/OSI/EA fame) spotted that in about a nano-second.
Robey was seriously spun up after Voss continued to claim he was a USAFA grad in emails exchanged between the two. Apparently Voss miscalculated or didn't realize Robey was a retired USAF Major. Eagl was a recent USAFA grad, and was more than happy to help Robey discover the truth. Robeys eventual findings are posted above and stand on their own.
I do have to agree with "Avenger"; invoking the name of Voss *will* get the attention of some of us "oldtimers" - we saw it first hand, and believe knowledge is the best defense to ensure it doesn't happen again. Voss is clearly unrepentent to this day.
Finally, Rip, you and I have seen eye to eye on many things, but in this case, I think you are dead wrong. In case you don't have all the history, I strongly suggest you do a simple usenet seach - all you need are the words "voss" and "robey". It's all there. Voss is no better than one of these wannabes that claims to be an ex-SF operator. As a vet, I am personally offended by Voss and his clear lack of respect for those that did serve.
