No apologies necessary...I'm only replying to the extent I know--I
wasn't part of Madacy in the early 90s, and don't have firsthand
knowledge of the business practices from that time.  I can only assert
from the late 90s when I started.

Apologies if you think I've maligned Madacy, by the way..my comments
were based 
on what I found on their discs in the early 90s, when much of the same
material 
could easily be identified as identical to LaserLight (who also seem to
have 
gone legit).
