Chuck, if you got flamed for dispelling rumors and mis-information going
about *HERE*, in the Amiga group, pertaining to NeWS, I suggest you ignore
the AssHo*es.  The subject was brought up *HERE* by *AMIGA* readers!  Why
should you get flamed for answering the questions?  You didn't offer the
subject up yourself?  *OTHERS* did.

All you did was answer questions as an 'in the know' person (well you work 
for them anyways).   That's like somebody asking a question about the cost of an
Amiga 2000 and the CATS people (who've been rather quiet latly) giving them
the answer.  So what?  As long as they did not offer up an answer *without*
a question, they are NOT (nor were what I saw posted by you) commercial.

Lets rename the group to comp.sys.computer-made-by-company-based-in-Westchester
-PA-that-is-beige-in-color-and-does-nice-graphics-using-custom-lsi-chips.

That way it is NOT commercial.  You should have ..... oh well (sigh)....
