Well, you really put your foot in your mouth this time.  Assuming that
you are intelligent enough to understand the usenet newsgroup
hierarchy, you should be able to understand that, since the '.advocacy'
in its name is preceded by 'amiga', the purpose of this newsgroup is
Amiga-related advocacy.  There is nothing pretentious about it.  It
merely serves as an invitation to anyone who wishes to discuss or flame
the strengths and weaknesses of the Amiga, as compared to other,
competing platforms.  A discussion (or flame-fest) regarding the
comparative strengths and weaknesses of the Next versus the Mac has no
direct bearing on the Amiga, and is therefore inappropriate for this
group.

You should also realize that such snide, childish remarks as your
closing sentences will serve to accomplish little more than to get your
name added to a fairly large number of kill-files.  This will not help
you in your efforts to 'convert' the lowly Amiga heathens to the bliss
of Next-ownership, since no one will see your diatribes.  Let me
emphasize that last part.  When you are added to everyone's kill-file,
no one will see your diatribes.

Regards,
Chris
