[In response to my complaint about marketing junk...] >Maybe it's time for another newsgroup. On looking back on the last few >years, I observe that there are at least 3 distinct kinds of discussion: > a) Pure architectural questions, opinions, information > b) Performance analyses > c) Economic and/or industry-structure discussions; competitive > arguments over non-architecture issues. Now this is a productive suggestion. I don't dislike all the marketing stuff because, as John points out, it sometimes leads to enlightening architectural revelations. I would probably never have complained in the first place if such stuff were simply kept SHORT. But marketing stuff is the kind of stuff that you can go on and on and on and on about. Further disclaimer: I don't mean to sound like some self-appointed moderator; I know I am not! It just seemed that people were under a marketing hypnosis....
