Dear Ami,

I have been reading the flame war between you and the Apollo group for
a few days now and want to add to the war.

You keep stating that your response was to correct some errors in an
earlier posting.  However, your posting of the number of employees
at Apollo was incorrect.  You also claim that you were not flaming
anyone or anything.  But to me

>                                    We are also doing
> so well that we don't need someone to come to our rescue.

is a flame against Apollo.

So before you start defending yourself GET YOUR OWN FACTS STRAIGHT! 
Also, even if you were correct (which you aren't) you deserve every
flame you receive.  How dare you come onto our news group and imply
that SUN is better than Apollo.  Only their marketing is better. 
Apollos hardware and software is MUUUCH better than SUN's.  Your own
comment proves that.  You claimed that SUN had 3 times the staff as
Apollo, yet their sales were not even twice as much.  That must mean
that all those extra people are needed to support a lower quality
product. 
Right?
