I wrote more of Camel 3 than Stephen Potter did of Camel 2, and yet I get 0 credit and 0 royalties from camel 3, and Stephen got 10% royalties and "with" credit for Camel 2.

I'm just pissed enough at how O'Reilly did (or didn't) negotiate with me that I'm thinking of calling for a boycott. The trouble is, do you think it would be more backlash than benefit? Perhaps I should just quietly pass the word about this inequity, and leave it at that.

Looking for your input...

Update: After consideration of the feedback I've received (public and private), I see that any boycott or even public outcry would only harm the community, and that's not my intent.

I was upset when I wrote the original comment, and I had to vent a bit. I think my next action will be one more attempt to resolve this through my contacts at O'Reilly, and if that fails, just write it off to experience.

Thank you for the feedback.
