- You should be pissed off, you're well justified in that feeling.

- I agree whole heartedly! You've always done a marvelous job on AR in the
- past, Jason, and I hope you continue right on doing so. I eagerly await every
- issue of AR and always download it immediately from Aminet when I see it there
- in the RECENT file. Keep up the good work!

- I do agree, though, that praise of new things and *constructive critisism*
- (not bitching and whining) of bad things should go hand-in-hand. It's all the
- whining that does the Amiga world bad.

- JC>If I was ready to write off the Amiga's chances to be something greater
- JC>than it is today, I wouldn't be here taking this sort of verbal abuse.
- JC>I'd be living the good life, not losing my hair trying very hard to

-
- Another thing I agree with. I'm glad you're toughing it out Jason!
-
- BH>Point taken ...
-
- JC>So don't give me this pessimism bullshit.
-
- BH>Ohh yes I will ...
-
- Gee, Bjorn, what the hell are you trying to do?? Push another great Amiga
- supporter right off the edge?!?!?! Remember what happened to John Veldthuis
- (Virus Checker - great program!)??? All the people bitching and whining in
- personal email to him made him stop supporting that program! Geez, get off
- Jason's back.
