- Wow. If the quality of your reply reflects the quality of TANDY products,
- then your company is in big trouble. Do your superiors know that you are
- posting this garbage as a de facto representative of TANDY?
-
- When someone from TANDY posts an item which includes nothing but a description
- of new a product made by TANDY, a price quote, and a tag that says something
- like "Hey! Look at this! It's brand new!" how can you say that it wasn't an
- ad? I can't imagine what an advertisement *is* if not what you posted. Would
- you care to elaborate on what you think it would have taken for your post to
- have qualified as an advertisement in your mind?
-
- If by "going nuclear" you mean that I bothered to complain that you were
- in clear violation of the rules of USENET and that neither you nor your
- company should profit thereby, then I accept that description of what I did.
-
- If you think that while calling us arrogant and making fun of our scientific
- projects that you have actually apologized simply by saying "sorry sorry sorry"
- a few times, then you need to get a life.
-
- If I had really wanted to "go nuclear" I could have called your USENET
- administrator and had your account yanked. I could also have called for a
- more complete boycott of your company. I never expected an apology or reply
- on your part. The damage was done. I figured I would let it drop after
- voicing my concern.
