- I am not a Mac or IBM user (yuch!), but you have to realize that the .advocacy
- are open to everyone (*sigh*). In .next.advocacy we often have Mac-,
- Microsoft-, SGI- people etc. giving their opinions. Most of the time what they
- have to say is constructive/informative, but we do have the occational people
- who just like to hear their own voices (or was that see their own typing :) --
- from what I have seen these people are either Mac-fanatics who think all other
- GUIs are dirt (even if they have never tried them), or Clone-freaks (tm) who
- think no other platform has any applications. I guess the same is going on over
- here. It is annoying, but if you edit your .kill file most of them can usually
- be filtered out.
-
- To summarize: Most people (non-amiga-users) come here to see what is going on;
- some like to complain (about everything); and there is very little anyone can
- do about it.
