And the superiority of NeXTs to Amigas, Macs, PC (see, it's not just Amigas that are getting beat on here) etc has little to do with c.s.amiga.advocacy. And it's not a "recent" glut, either. Folks who are into the NeXT have been bashing the Amiga since this group was created. They have also been using this group as an excuse to bash Suns, IBM-clones, Macs, and everything else as well. This is a classic case of blaming the victim. It wasn't Amiga users who started this flame war... it was an ex-Amiga user who has found a new religion (I guess when the Amiga developers said "we're here to bring you a computer, not a religion" he got disenchanted...) that did that. A NeXT user. Quit blaming the victim, observe and set followups appropriately (clue: alt.flame is rarely appropriate), and create a comp.sys.next.advocacy so your fanatics can find a place to live.
