Ok, I've no problem with that, but do Amiga think that they should be
so heavy handed with genuine Amiga users who wish to advertise that
they built their web site with an Amiga or use an Amiga?

How many web sites do you see mentioning Windows, ie can only be
viewed with IE5, etc? Do they need Gates's permission?

Amiga should only threaten legal action where appropriate & quietly
accept free advertising when appropriate.
