Why not? Normal USENET rules say you get flames greater than or equal to
what you deserve. Trying to start an operating-system religious war will
get you plenty of flames...unless people just decide you're a dolt and
ignore you.

Depends on what it's solving. You might guess, from the title of the
newsgroup, that folks here are interested in UNIX systems for 386 machines.
OS/2 isn't much of a solution to that.

I'd never realized how far superior OS/2 is! And, silly me, I thought it
was only available on PC-class machines. I guess I just missed the
announcements of versions we could run on our VAXen, Sun 3s, RTs, Sparcs,
and RS/6000s...but if you say it's a viable solution, it must run on those
platforms, right?
