Dear NeXT enthusiasts:

As of late, posts to our esteemed B-Board "netnews.comp.sys.next" have
degenerated into something only slightly above the quality of writing
found in "Weekly World News" and "The National Enquirer".

I refer to the several ongoing debates such as "Next vs Mac", "Not Click
To Type", and Eric the Fiend's Infamous Flames regarding Shareware vs
Freeware vs The Rest of the World, etc.

This b-board was formerly a source of useful information regarding facts
(NOT PHILOSOPHY) about NeXT machines.

Discussions over ideas or questions are welcome.  (And informative)

For example,  posts in the form:
 "I'd like to do such-and-such.  Is this a good idea?"

With responses such as:
  "Yes that's okay." Or "No that probably won't work because..."
are terrific.

But posts which could be loosely translated as "Yo' mama" are NOT!!

So I suggest that we once again return to the good ol' days of
information/suggestion type posts for this b-board and start a new
b-board which might be entitled "netnews.comp.sys.next.BITCH" for
anything else.

				Humbly Yours,
					Keith

P.S.  Anyone who flames this post is an ass.
