Hi,
   I have to agree with Chuck McManis here. We should have the sense not to
start religious wars here. This is not curbing free speech, it is just common
sense (IMHO).

   Publicly announcing "I think computer X is crappy" simply starts a war that
just wastes bandwidth and changes NOBODY's mind (the owners of X have their
own reason for liking X). As far as the free speech aspect goes, I do not think
 a person has the right to subject many users of the net to a flame-fest. (No -
 I do not think the "k" key is the answer, many flamers like to use different
subject lines for each post).

   I realize that I am myself "wasting bandwidth" here. I originally sent
e-mail to Chuck McManis agreeing with him, but when I saw a public attack on
him I felt I should respond.

   BTW, I am new to the Amiga community, having just bought an A1000. I am
VERY impressed with the community - everyone is so freindly and helpful it is
truly incredible. Thanks to all who helped, I hope I can return the favors
someday :-)

                               See Ya,
                                      Manoj Patel
