  I vote we split up c.s.a.advocacy. 

  c.s.a.advocacy.mb-futures
To be moderated by MB for posts like:
"Let's face it, the Amiga will NEVER have a 32-bit clipboard
because Commodore marketing has a secret illuminati conspiracy
to oppress clipboard lovers everywhere."

  c.s.a.advocacy.blazemonger.blazemonger.blazemonger
Dicusss the newest blazemonger release.

  c.s.a.advocacy.mac-vs-amiga
"Anything less than 640x480 B&W is TOTALLY inadequate. No, 
anything less than 1024x768x8bit is totally inadequate. No,.."

  c.s.a.advocacy.next-vs-amiga
"Look, once you add a $10,000 NeXT Dimension card RSN, the NeXT
totally beats the Amiga's blitter "

  c.s.a.advocacy.cray-vs-amiga
"The Amiga  will never suceed since the A500 obviously cannot
compare to the Cray-III or the CM2"

  c.s.a.advocacy.marketing
"Commodore marketing sucks"

  c.s.a.advocacy.japan-vs-commodore
	""  ""  .cdtv-vs-cdi-vs-cbtv
"Commodore is doomed, the multi-jillion dollar Japanese corperations
have discovered the games market, now not a single Amiga will ever be
sold."
"It is a scientific fact that HAM is not sufficient to display
digitized images. Laboratory tests on animals prove that humans cannot
recognize images unless they are 1024x1024x24 bit."

  c.s.a.advocacy.assembly-vs-all-other-languages-are-inadequate
"You don't understand, you see, if you take over the machine, you
can use absolute short addressing mode and get a %.008 speedup
increase, and compiled languages obviously cannot produce hello_world
programs as small as assembly thereby making them inferior."

  c.s.a.advocacy.source
"Just because developers have source code to the OS doesn't mean
they will rely on side-effects of functions. Just because developers
in the past relied on the side-effect of the chipbase being in a5 coming
from an int-handler, or relied on  a1 not being trashed, doesn't mean
they will still do it. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot."


and don't forget comp.sys.amiga.programmer.algol
