It's postings like yours that keep me going.  It's extremely hard to 
turn away from the discussion when you or another Amiga-proponent ask
pointed questions about the NeXT or make ridiculous statements about the
machine.

These are trends I've noticed throughout the Usenet newsgroups.  
1.  During a flame war, people inevitably post messages that say, "You're
wrong.  You're wrong.  You're wrong.  Now, let's stop discussing this 
issue since it's not relevant to the newsgroup."  These kinds of messages
only perpetuate flame wars.

2.  During a flame war, people inevitably post messages that say, "This
is boring and uninformative crap.  Get this out of MY newsgroup."  The
truth usually is that all too many people are interested in the issue, and
often passionately so.  Moreover, newsgroups do not belong to individuals or
even groups (unless they are moderated).  They are for public discussions,
and hardware comparisons involving the Amiga do have a place in the Amiga
newsgroups.  

Cheers,
