   I completely agree with this.

   As a NeXT and Amiga user (and Amiga owner) I have a lot of
respect for both machines. Unfortunately the quality of input
from the NeXT crowd in this newsgroup borders on infantile
and tends to draw infantile responses from Amiga defenders.
The quality of discussion in comp.sys.next is much higher and I
think reflects better on the kind of person attracted to the
NeXT. Unlike some others I feel comp.sys.amiga IS an
appropriate place for discussing the relative merits of both
machines. I'd like to see a higher calibre of discussion is all.
