A better reason for not creating comp.sys.amiga.marketing is that the discussion doesn't justify the newsgroup. 90% of the people who think they know how Commodore should market their machines haven't a day's worth of experience working in the computer industry, and hence don't know what they're talking about. I see no reason to give them a newsgroup so they can waste net bandwidth proving how little they really know. Furthermore, I wish they would shut up so as to pave the way for productive postings in this newsgroup. --M -- __ \/ Michael Portuesi Silicon Graphics, Inc. portuesi@sgi.com
