While this may very well be true, it does not belong in this newsgroup.
A quick scan of the Newsgroups: line indicates that this is
comp.sys.amiga, not comp.sys.next or alt.religion.computers.  The
argument that this discussion is 'important' or 'productive' is
non sequitur.

The purpose of this newsgroup is the discussion of the Amiga and its
uses.  It is not a forum for people to ridicule Amiga owners for
lacking the foresight to abandon their Amigas in favor of the NeXT, or
any other brand of computer.  If you wish to discuss the relative
strengths and weaknesses of the NeXT, then please do so, but do it in
comp.sys.next.

Regards,
Chris
