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.

OK we know that you think that Marc Barret is annoying, but there is are
simple ways of dealing with him.
1: add his id to your author-kill list (Note: he uses several ids)
2: add his site to your kill list (Note: just a little overkill)
3: learn patience and understanding. He can't be this woefully ignorant
and demanding his entire life. (He has to graduate at some point)
4: listen to the points he is trying to make and ignore the excessive
verbal noise he so dearly loves. (My own personal favorite)
For those of us who have been reading in blessed silence, Marc is a screaming
child that needs attention, to punish the child is a way of stunting his growth,
to abuse the child is unspeakable, but to ignore the child is worse, for he will
soon feel that he must scream louder to be heard. I think Marc has improved over
time and I think someday, he will have some control in his use of language in
his postings.
So chill, relax, take a breather, and don't let an undergrad rile you over
something that he has not spent time thinking about.
BTW Marc, Remember the board you were working on? I do. What became of it?

Spirit Technologies and a number of other companies came out with products that were essentially the same thing. I decided to abandon it since I have far too little time as it is, than to go and reinvent the wheel. BTW, any of the Amiga-to-IDE hard drive interface boards available do pretty much what I was trying to do with my general-purpose interface. >-- >------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Scott C.
