However, Marc has been well known in the past for exaggerating things far beyond truth, and stating out-and-out falsehoods. When he rants and raves about, for example, how the Amiga's custom chips need improvement, he has a point. But when this appears at the end of the message: CALL ME AN ASSHOLE IF YOU WANT *AMIGA* YESTERDAY'S TECHNOLOGY FOREVER He loses all credibility with everyone here, and I hope you are included. -- Ethan Q: How many Comp Sci majors does it take to change a lightbulb A: None. It's a hardware problem.

No two ways about it. He cries wolf all the time, and wonders why nobody listens to him. He denies that things have improved with the Amiga. He is blind to changes [did =MB= ever say 'yay team' when the A3000 came out? Fuck no, he was silent. Then come clown said 'hey, where's =MB='. And he's back to haunt us. sigh.]. MB is not merely annoying, he is ULTIMATELY annoying. He is an amoral mouth, willing to debunk and ignore the plaintiff cries of people who desperately want to make him SEE the cold harsh light of reality. He will not be educated. He won't listen to reasoned arguments. He won't react to flammage. He just posts and posts and posts, and is NEVER satisfied, and NEVER will be. Even if an Amiga was elected President of France, he would still have complaints. Don't listen to him. Don't reply to his incredibly asinine postings. Just ignore him. I do. But you're advocating that people should put up with him, which IMAO is a heinous crime against the net. So I toast you for your ignorance. :-) > // Jeff Hyche followups to csa.advocacy Dac -- David Andrew Clayton. // _l _ _ dac@prolix.pub.uu.oz.au *or*|I post.I am.
