The difference here is that Marc Barrett is posting completely childish things, things which are wildly opinionated and have no substance behind them. His complete immaturity should be clear from the time he posted 4 articles back-to-back slamming Commodore and the Amiga in general. He is either a little kid or has some mental problem where he needs attention. According to one person, he has already cost sales of Amigas because of his comments. I don't think he has any right to stay. Kill file isn't good enough, cause then people who don't know about him will read his remarks and not see replies. -- Ethan Ethan Solomita: es1@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu "If Commodore had to market sushi they'd call it `raw cold fish'" -- The Bandito, inevitably stolen from someone else
