Better yet, to comp.sys.amiga.advocacy; a provocative subject and a long
running, opinionated thread are broad hints that the subject matter has
become (and probably alwyas was) appropriate for .advocacy and nowhere
else.  Moreover, rants against Commodore's marketing, advertising policy,
etc., are explicitly included _in_ the .advocacy charter, by design.

We renamed .market to .marketplace during the CFD period just so that it
would be clear that "market" wasn't short for "marketing". This is a
great place for personal Amiga hardware and software ads (and _please_
put them here _only_) and "where can I find X, how much will it cost"
discussions, but not the place for berating CBM's sales force.

Sigh.  I am doomed to become the official grump of c.s.a.*.
