- Well thanks, I can read already. Thanks for the insult too!

-
- Are you serious? Do you actually flame in comp.sys.atari.st "just to
- have something to fill the void"??? Have you ever thought about the
- fact that a lot of people that are reading this group have to pay
- money for that?
-
- : Read a few PC or Mac newsgroups to see how HAPPY computer owners discuss
- : everything from games to desktop publishing, to programming, to graphics,
- : and all with very little reference to "Real Soon Now", or "Someday when
- : XXXX is released"...
-
- I've seen plenty of these messages in comp.sys.atari.st too, but in the
- last couple of weeks I've almost seen more messages from you alone
- complaining about Atari Corp., don't you ever get bored?
-
- : Wouldn't it be great if the Atari newsgroups had more games to talk about
- : than you could take time to read..? Enough that we'd have to create a
- : new newsgroup just to handle them..? Or if there were enough people
- : programming the Atari on a professional or semi-professional level that
- : we needed several new newsgroups just to handle the traffic..?
-
- Sure. But that doesn't mean that we have to "fill the void" that the lack
- of such things for the ST created with useless flame-wars!
-
- : Like I said.. we don't need a new newsgroup to handle all the Atari flames..
- : what we need is for Atari Corp to DO SOMETHING...
