	I do agree that people who call Marc Barrett four letter
words and just generally bash him and insult him should stop, it
isn't worth it. But I CAN'T understand these people who are
defending him.
	He is either posting to have fun by annoying others or he
is not sane. I remember back when he was in his "Where is 24 bit
graphics" phases, he posted 7 articles within 48 hours, all of
which were rephrased articles saying that because the Amiga
didn't have 24 bit graphics the Amiga was doomed. That was when
he first started the "Amiga -- Yesterday's Technology Forever"
signature.
	Marc Barrett regular states incorrect information/lies as
though they were facts and is always predicting doom. I compare
him to the people I see on the street with signs saying, "Repent
for the end is near." He simply has to stop saying things that
are utterly untrue and acting like he knows what he's talking
about.
	Perfect example was with his comments about Copperman's
move. He proceded to say that Copperman increased R&D
expenditures and now that he's gone that will just drop back down
to nothing and the Amiga is doomed forever. Meanwhile, Copperman
has NOTHING to do with development. In fact, Irving Gould and Co.
set the R&D spending directly. Marc stated incorrect info. as
fact and proceeded to state an opinion that was utterly negative.
	I can't believe I'm rambling on this long. I have been
trying to stay out of this but I just can't stop myself. He isn't
sane.
