	Well, Marc has a few things going against him...

	1) He has quite a few good points.
	2) because of (1) people want to try and shut him up.
	3) His posts are VERY caustic. But I suspect that in general
	   he doesn't have a real "way with people" and that this
	   isnt really a USENET thing.
	4) He hasn't figures (2) and (3) out yet.

	Basically, people don't like his posts because he brings up
good points about the shortcommings of OFM (our favorite machine).

	The response is to flame him, remember, usenet is not supposed
to be a place to actually improve a computer, just a recruiting ground
to get more poeple.

	At the end of the world, the computer with the most devoted
users is declared the winner in the afterlife and ALL the major
software houses will write only for it. That is what heaven really
is.
