cw@vaxwaller.UUCP (Carl Weidling) was pretty underhanded in his reply
to my article saying "there's nothing wrong with the Amiga as a MIDI
machine."

He posted the first article that said "Amiga has an unreliable timer
chip" but EDITED out my reply (for "brevity" he said) and then said
"you can put up to 4MB on the Atari ST."

Look, if you can beef up an ST, fine -- I stand corrected.  But since
the real reason for my posting was to dismiss the ludicrous claims by
some writer who didn't know better, why repeat the bogus info at all?
It was a swipe against the Amiga, intended to promote disinformation.

Look, I'm not anti-ST.  If I didn't have a machine already I might buy
an ST so I could run Dr.T's software, which I think is great.  I might
have ANYWAY, even though I already have an Amiga, except that they've
told me they're doing an Amiga port.

Had Carl not included the first (inaccurate) quote, or HAD included my
reply with the innacurate quote, that would have been fine.  But to do
what he did was underhanded, unfair and just plain misleading.
