I agree!  There is no need for mac-bashing, amiga-bashing, pc-bashing or
whatever on this newsgroup (comp.sys.mac.games).  Flamers please take your
discussion elsewhere, or at least be good enough to follow the suggestion
above and REPLY rather than FOLLOWUP.  You may enjoy reading yourselves
in print, but some of us would rather read about games, not flames.

I hope this will be the last message on this thread, although somehow
I doubt it.
