  I'm just wondering what our dear friend over in Commie-land (Amiga, not
USSR <grin>) would feel if someone were to step into their message
base and kindly show them how to convert over from Commodore to the
Atari.  While this is called a "friendly" thing, for one no one on here
asked for this "help."  If someone wants help, do it in PRIVATE.
It remins me of something done in wartime and even during Desert Storm:
drop tons of propoganda on the enemy telling them step by step how
to surrender (many of the Iraqi soldiers who surrendered carried these
"information slips").

  While I admit it is a stretch comparing this to the war, the point
is that the same strategy/technique is being employed.

  or in short: I didn't ask, I don't remember seeing ANY postings here
about it, and thus we really ain't interested in your "help."
So I kindly ask our noble friend to save his blessings for those
who want and need it - in the Commodore section...

  end, fine, et al...
