And the majority of the people who read these newsgroups are going
to be for OS/2.

And its not un-realistic that if someone really begins a flame war
to fight back.  I just think that we have become so quick to attack
someone based on any hint they don't enjoy using OS/2.

Imagine someone who is a longtime user of Win95, who just drops
in to "see what its about?"  

Think he's going to switch after reading some of these threads?
It just doesn't read like anyone of us is real positive OS/2 is
still viable, and we are all *real* jumpy on the subject.

That's not a good attitude to portray.
