G'day,

Steve, perhaps the contributors to this group have struck on a good way to
combat junk (ok, crappy!) postings to this newsgroup of the "Petra type" ?

I'm probably naive but I hope so. If `PC' (generic term) owners who respond
to such attacks remain civil and informative and attack the real problem ie
the "attacking" posters personality problem then we _may_ avoid much of the
wasteful flaming that usually goes on.

On behalf of the "nice" {oh brother :-)} Amiga reader/posters to this group
I thank you.

I genuinely look forward to reading the great news of new Atari products &
mangement policies coming to this group these days.

An Amiga owner with quite a bit of respect for Atari products/community ...

yours truly,
Lou Cavallo.        {I apologise if I come across like a sycophant :-( ...}
