     I have only two things to say about this:

     1. Denigrating a person's opinions on the basis of what system the
        posting came from is logically equivalent to denigrating their
        opinions on the basis of their skin or eye color.  It's simply not
        a relevant criterion.  What matters is what is said, not who said
        it or where it was said from.  I'm not just referring to this
        posting, but to others where people have been put down because of
        their system of choice.  The phrase "giggling teenagers" comes to
        mind.

     2. If you're going to be rude and insulting, please do it in
        alt.flame.  Comp.sys.amiga* is not the place for personal or
        prejudicial invective.

     Zen is like a man hanging from a branch by his teeth over a great
precipice.  A master asks him, "What is the Buddha?".  If he does not
answer, he fails the test.  If he opens his mouth to answer, he also fails.
