In the 2 yrs that I have been reading this group I have never seen a REAL flame war where dedication to a machine outweighs rational thought. People like you seem to chomp at the bit at the mention of another computer.

People >like you seem to chomp at the bit at the mention of another computer. Why? I've been reading comp.sys.mac* since 4 years and find almost all discussion rational. The discsussions "Mac vs. <another computer>" are indeed rational, there are a *lot* of technical arguments and comparisons, but I'm not interested in the Amiga or Next CPU, I'm a MacFreak! I bought my *Mac* for a couple of yrs ago and I don't have money to buy another computer. I can't afford loosing my illusion of Mac as the ultimate computer :-) ! Kill-files? I don't use kill-files because the subject-line doesn't say anything about the real content. So my only hope to stay away from the computer-war articles is to post articles like these and ask people to move the discussions to comp.sys.amiga.* or something else. Well, that's *my* point of view. I guess there are other "chompbitters" with other opinions.

No, but it's usually not too hard to figure out what a thread is all
about once you have read one or two articles(e.g. '68040 Mac' was a
NeXT vs. Mac thread). Add the current subject line to your kill file
or just skip the series of posts if you don't want to read it.
