First, those quoted comments are about the angriest I have used in e-mail or
posting.  It was in response to a posting that used employed some 
name-calling.  It was intended to be e-mail, since I do not believe in
flaming anyone in public.  As for e-mail, I do not believe in using 
profanity or resorting to ad hominem attacks.  

I've been screamed at and been called every name under the sun in e-mail
arising from this thread.  There has also been more than a little name-
calling in public.  Many of you may feel it is justified.  But I 
believe it to be unconstructive at best.

The NeXT vs. Amiga thread is not a big deal.  As fanatical as I am about
correcting misinformation about the NeXT, I don't think it's an issue 
that calls for screaming and hair-pulling.  Certainly, it doesn't call
for hatred.   

This is, I hope, my last posting to articles in this vein.  I'll continue
to answer questions about the NeXT asked by Amiga users.  I will continue
to correct gross misinformation about the NeXT.  But I will let personal
flames flicker and die of their own accord.
