I fear you have not followed this very well. The person whom I flamed
flamed ME because I posted the material. I posted the material not for
its technical merit but for its "interest", as it is the ONLY piece of
paper that I have seen about UNIX for the Amiga.
I think that it is wrong for people to take pot-shots at advertising.
It is just that -- advertising.
Further I believe that I contribute to the net. I do not flame people
on a regular basis and if I do, it is for what I feel a good
reason.
I was taken to task on posting this ad. It took quite a while to type
214 lines from the advertisement. I would hope that people would _know_
that I was not posting it as fact.
Sigh..

I believe you are wrong here.

I think that you are rude and mis-informed.
