Usenet isn't a place where official things get said, generally. The
financial information we've been discussing is the kind of thing your
stockbroker gets; No company with a comp.sys.* group posts things
on it that would be seen as an advertisement.

But you will see Atari people here answering technical questions. And
that's very useful for some of us. Thanks, guys!

Of course, if you make a posting here with the attitude of "I'm asking
Atari a question, they should answer me!" you'll probably become
disappointed. This is the newsgroup of the rabble, not the company;
Atari people happen to participate here, but they don't run the group.
We rabble types are happy to comment about just about anything,
though.
