Dear NeXT enthusiasts: As of late, posts to our esteemed B-Board "netnews.comp.sys.next" have degenerated into something only slightly above the quality of writing found in "Weekly World News" and "The National Enquirer". I refer to the several ongoing debates such as "Next vs Mac", "Not Click To Type", and Eric the Fiend's Infamous Flames regarding Shareware vs Freeware vs The Rest of the World, etc. This b-board was formerly a source of useful information regarding facts (NOT PHILOSOPHY) about NeXT machines. Discussions over ideas or questions are welcome. (And informative) For example, posts in the form: "I'd like to do such-and-such. Is this a good idea?" With responses such as: "Yes that's okay." Or "No that probably won't work because..." are terrific. But posts which could be loosely translated as "Yo' mama" are NOT!! So I suggest that we once again return to the good ol' days of information/suggestion type posts for this b-board and start a new b-board which might be entitled "netnews.comp.sys.next.BITCH" for anything else. Humbly Yours, Keith P.S. Anyone who flames this post is an ass.

Take a hike Keith - These sort of posts are not going to help the situation. BTW, all relevant topics need not be development related. Perhaps we should have another newsgroup, but don't be to hasty to dismiss postings that others find useful.. -- Greg Vesper (vesper@kong.gsfc.nasa.gov) 301-286-5162 Goddard Space Flight Center; Greenbelt, Maryland "Two basic facts of life: 1) There is a God. 2) You're not him."
