Henry, there was a big difference between what was posted about the ST and
what was posted about the Amiga.  The readers of this group basically made
a play on the initials "ST," and has been done before for the Mac, IBM,
Ford, etc., etc., etc.  The posting about the Amiga was not a play on
initials or what makes up the acronym "A.M.I.G.A."  It was an attack on
the Amiga itself, and an insult to the intelligence of the readers of this
group.

Now, if anybody here wants to come up with some things that Amiga could
stand for, I'd laugh.  In fact, I do, quite a bit!  For example:

	Another Moronic Idea Goes Awry

Anybody else?
