See previous comment. >I have resisted posting a comment on the latest barrage of Atari bashing, >since I don't own anything made by Atari ... You should have hung in there. >I am amazed at some of the comments I'm reading in this newsgroup. So am I. Few have anything to do with using or programming the Atari ST. Even fewer provide real information on any topic. Instead of comp.sys.atari.st, it should be noise.atari-bashing.instant-experts. I don't see this noise from the many folks who have made this newsgroup worth reading over the last few years. I see it mostly from November locusts who have just figured out how to post news but apparently have not learned to consider first whether their posting makes a material contribution or raises a question worth answering. apratt and kbad and many others @atari.UUCP have devoted many hours to reading this newsgroup and answering questions. I hope this drivel-storm passes soon, before they conclude that it's not worth the effort. Followups redirected to alt.flame.
