I mean, no one box is perfect for all, the Amiga included. I propose that the messages posted by yourself are inflammatory and irritating for the most part, and that this network is so impersonal that people feel safe writing inflammatory and generally irritating remarks back. So if people seem to want to see nExt fail, I get the feeling that it is more of a thing that if it fails, it will be the ultimate irritating thing that could happen to an irritating guy like you seem to portray yourself to be ( I bet your not, but this network lets you be irritating with no reprocussions). I'm not saying stop, or even that I'm correct, these are just my observations, so keep it up, you'll never make it into my kill file, I like reading the controversy(sp). I just wish that I could make my garden dev/null, because then I could do mv /vol/usenet/news/comp/sys/amiga/advocay dev/null and have a crop of prize winning crop of vegetables (neighbors would complain about the smell though) :^)
