- Salutations Bob for on the 07 Feb 96, verilly did you scribe;

- I think you summed up my feelings on the matter better than I have ever said
- them myself. However, I doubt a stand off will be reached. :-0 Just why the
- Amiga community has to bicker about stuff like this when there's far worse
- things to complain about is beyond me. :-(
-
- #Amiga has turned into the MUI and Browser War channel. :-(
-
- I've just one thing to add;
-
- If you don't like some software on the Amiga, why not simply delete it and
- not use it? Why go on a holy war to convince everyone else of it's pure
- evilness. I mean there's no MCP vs MCX wars (very simular arguments could be
- applied) so why this? JUST because you are alledgedly FORCED to use the GUI
- system because certain software that's the only one of it's kind requres it,
- doesn't give you a right to slag it off. The Amiga needs every developer and
- every enhancement package it can get. Accept that people like MUI and accept
- that some programs would not BE without MUI even if you HATE it. Then leave
- it. Please. I BEG YOU.
-
- You can always go and write your OWN Browser that doesn't need MUI, can't
- you?

- [doesn't seriously expect this to have any affect at all]
