Ralph H. Baer FAILURE - 2012年10月27日 About a week ago I sent Mr Baer (the video game pioneer) a nice letter, 3 photos, and a SASE.
Today I got my SASE back with my 3 photos unsigned, along with a typed note that reads,
"Response by me to requests such as yours are now showing up regularly on E-Bay. As a result, I am no longer going to sign any requests for autographs, sign photos that shouldn't have been copied off the web in the first place, much less take the time to sketch game systems, all of which I have done in the past.
If you are among those individuals who have no problem violating confidences, then shame on you. If you are not, then blame those who do so and whose integrity is conspicuous by its absence. -RHB."
So it's pretty obvious this guy is done signing. I was pretty disappointed to get this, but I respect it and will not violate his confidences.
Anybody else got this back too? |
