Funny how they can drag a discussion down into the muck with personal attacks and foul language.. ("piss in my coffee"... "you haven't the faintest idea what-in-the-fuck you're talking about") and still have the resident Atari cheerleaders jump to their defense... It's also funny how some users of this newsgroup can drag a discussion down into the muck by continually pissing in everyone's coffee and babbling on and on when they haven't the faintest idea what-in-the-fuck they're talking about. Is this any way for representatives of a major computer company to talk to the public..? We're all in pretty serious trouble if we have to accept abuse like this just to have the "honor" of their presence here... No one is forcing you to read the messages by anyone from Atari, just put atari.UUCP in your kill file and you won't have to take any more abuse, at least from them. You'll still get abuse from the rest of us unless you stop bitching and griping and start posting something useful here. By the way, most of the Atari folk here are on Usenet on their own time, NOT as representatives of Atari (or have you failed to read the disclaimer attached to their messages?) Personally I really appreciate their presence here and wish assholes like you would quit giving them reasons why they should discontinue that presence. Your friendly resident Atari cheerleader, entropy
