Still carrying this grudge, eh?

I have nothing against Atari users posting these types of messages either.
Problem is - you didn't.  You posted inane rhetorical BS that spent most of
it's time bashing other platforms repeatedly, be it Atari or PC's.  Just
about anybody would agree with me on this, as many did at the time.  We
*all* just got tired of your incessant BS bashing.  So - guess what I and a
few other people did?  We started letting you know it.  Guess what?  It
worked!  You stopped posting........please don't start it up again.

If you wanna logically discuss features of one system versus the other -
fine.  Just don't go on a tangent on the order of "Amiga's better than any
PC, 'cause the PC's keyboard design sucks rocks, and because PC's are
limited to 640K usable memory, and because.....

We've all heard that before, especially in this group.  Try to offer
something *new*, or at least a new angle on something old.

Nope, sure don't Tommy.  You might be interested to know that I've actually
only complained about a total of two peoples article contents in the past,
be it in this group, orthe other 50 odd groups I read.  One was the article 
to which you refer in which your name was brought up.  Guess who the other
person was?  You got it.....   Now, I'm sure you must have read *lots* of
drivel posted by many other people in this group - the people I didn't
complain about.  Now do you see where your posts rank?
