They've happened too often to care about. They don't add anything new to anyone's base of knowledge, they're not thrilling, they just bore people to death. Probably most of the people posting in support of Atari in the last couple of flareups of this subject have kill files that work on article contents, so whenever some article predicts imminent death of Atari Corp, they don't even see it. You could try posting in Esperanto to get past these :-). The point is - nobody cares if Atari dies or is bought by Commodore or builds NeXTstations in agreement with Jobs or what. People here just have gotten tired of it. I have too, so this is it. Luckily I'm using the nn news reader so I can skip anything with suspicious Subject: lines. Bye bye, gripers.
