I read net.micro.amiga for information.  The signal to noise ratio here
is getting worse.  Heated, emotional comparisons with any other machine
(except maybe the Amiga 2 ?) is of no use to   a n y b o d y .  Think.

I hereby propose mod.amiga (mod.comp.amiga, mod.micro.amiga. mod.cbm.amiga,
I don't care), along with mod.amiga.sources and mod.amiga.binaries (in
keeping with the proposed mac renovation scheme).

I have already privately offered to moderate mod.amiga.{sources,binaries},
I now publicly offer to moderate mod.amiga .  I will let you flame and
repost all you want (well...), but will not allow rabid discussion of
other machines.  How's that for laying it on the table?

I have cross-posted this to net.news.group, where any discussion should
be held.  *Don't* followup to net.micro.amiga !

Let's do it now before someone decides to do it for us.

..Bob
