Someone above posted abouthow tired they are of Amiga users coming to this newsgroup to crow about their machines. I agree-- there's no need for this at all. I don't know how often Amiga users go onto Mac or IBM newsgroups, and crow over there, but I'd guess it's a LOT less. (Maybe it's just harder to defend the Amiga against the two industry leaders.) But I'm not aware of too many Atari ST users going onto the Amiga echoes and disrupting their discussions. Maybe I'm wrogn about this-- I haven't checked out the Amiga sections-- but I'd be genuinely surprised should such things happen with as much frequency as they do here. So, here's a proposed remedy; if anyone wants to, they should take the my-Amiga-kicks-ass posts, and re-post them on the Amiga newsgroups with the following note attached: "Until the Amiga user who wrote this message learns some common courtesy, his obnoxiousness should be shared among all. If you don't want these messages on your newsgroup, then kindly tell him to stop." It's not the nicest thing to do, I admit. ====================================================================== Brian Siano, aka [ "Mr. A. Hitler, the old Nazi thing, says [ Mickey's silly.
