No, no, no, no, NO. *Please* don't start another Amiga vs PC argument. The
number of times I've read these things, from newsgroups to IRC to mailing
lists, it's just unreal.
The Amigactive mailing list is a good place to have interesting
conversations with other people. If you find Amiga vs PC arguments
interesting, have a browse through the history of comp.sys.amiga.misc on
Deja, or the AA and AFB mailing lists on Yahoogroups. There's more than
enough there to keep you occupied.
There are so many other things to talk about, I really can't see the point
in having the same arguments over and over again.
If any significant number of you actually enjoy these arguments, why not set
up a mailing list especially for it? That way, you can all enjoy arguing
with each other without bothering us (unnormal?) people who find these
arguments extremely tedious.
Someone's is going to come along in a minute and say "Well if you don't like
it, filter it out". I'm not a great fan of slow server-side filters, nor of
downloading email and discarding 90% of it.
So please. If just for the sake of my sad little 56k connection, please
don't start this thread again. And also, please don't use this email as an
excuse to start some other flame.
Thank you chaps.
Regards
Jay
