Speaking for myself, I find John Mashey one of the most interesting
and enlightening posters on this group.  He is as ready to cite data
himself as he is to request that others cite it, and has spent a lot
of time writing up design arguments, MipsCo history, and general
RISC topics.   Thank you, John; you have no need to apologise to
anybody.

As for splitting this newsgroup, I don't think it will work.  The
problem seems to be that one person's 'marketing hype' is another
person's 'product technical information', so if we split off a
daughter called 'comp.arch.hype' (or whatever), nobody will post
to it.  I vote we let it all roll in and filter it in the traditional
manner with the 'n' key.

The notion that technical claims require technical substantiation
is not unique to this forum, and here also I'm on John's side: say
what you like, but prove it.
