(what's that crackling noise?...)

You WOULD be disturbed if you subscribed to comp.sys.m68k and didn't give
a rat's ass about the Mac OR the Amiga. I apologize for being so churlish,
but I have read enough of this insipid, useless prattle in a newsgroup where
it doesn't belong. 

I get sick and tired of seeing "<N> articles in comp.sys.m68k - read? [ynq]",
typing "y", and finding that <N-1> of said articles are of the form "my 
computer happens to have a 68000 and can beat up your computer". Can we
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE take this discussion elsewhere (I personally nominate
talk.religion.really.stupid.meaningless.arguments.about.computers <- no
emoticon - I'm serious, folks).

This is not a personal attack on Mr. Foy - his article just prompted it.
Believe it or not, there are people in the world who use the 68000 and do
not own a 68000-based computer. How about putting this discussion to bed?
