- Since people always point out how it's against netiquette to quote
- your private email Darek, I think it's only fair to point out that blatant
- commercial posts are not only bad netiquette but against the net charter
- as well. (That's why I edited your price listing).
-
- I am FAR from the net police, but you continually skirt the boundry
- from being informative about a new product, and using the net for free
- advertising. I think that Howard Chu is a good example of low-key. He's
- mentioned the capabilities of Blackmail (when asked) an mentioned it when
- talking about Comdex (actually I think that more was said by OTHER people).
- Furturmore, he posts LOTS of stuff that have *nothing* to do with his pro-
- duct. I have seen a few of your posts that don't talk about Gemulator but
- they aren't a large percentage of them.
-
- I guess I DO sound like the net police, but I am only pointing out the way
- that things are. But, of course, the net is dynamic. If it doesn't bother
- the OTHER readers of this group, who am I to complain? Since their are so
- few Atari dealers, maybe it is. What say you all?
