As several people have said, a lot of people are learning about both Macs
and the NeXTs in these discussions, with a lot of false impressions being
corrected.  For many people, these are very valuable (and interesting)
discussions.

But for those of you who *aren't* interested, all you have to do is
learn how to use your KILL file, and you never have to be bothered
by discussions about the NeXT or Amiga again.  A single "K" in rn
would have zapped the whole "Another NeXT defector" subject line,
for instance.
